In most cases, when a MS Word document gets converted to EPUB, it is impossible to stick with the original styles of the source document.
I think that is a way of saying that AWP mostly gets junked up files, so they proceed on that basis. Sigh.

With all due respect,
anyone reading that reply knows instantly that it's total horsepucky. Both CSS-type styles and inline styles are applied in BOTH word and ePUB. It's an excuse, not a reason.
I'm very appreciative of your effort, mrmikel. It would have been cool if they'd been receptive to it. That's probably why Jutoh is making strides; at least the stylenames don't change, so you can work in CSS when you've exported your ePUB without having to relearn what each stylename is/does.
Thanks!
