Ah, interesting!

So I could, for example:



 
[this is a snippet of the code] 
set mySelection to selection 
repeat with myCounter from 1 to count mySelection 
set myCurrentStory to item myCounter of mySelection

set xmlTag to name of markup tag of associated XML elements of myCurrentStory 
set frameConts to contents of (parent story of item 1 of myCurrentStory) 




And then use Text Style Ranges on the parent of myCurrentStory?

I would only really need to search for superscript/subscript, italic and bold - so I can just search for 'font style' and position, and replace the text that is altered with tagged text in frameConts?

My head is spinning - thanks for the help so far!

James
