Well, the extension is OSS and written in LibOBasic, so anyone is able
to read the code and make changes.

True - though you can still create a new default template of course.

hmm - so I wonder if the lack of import style is because there is no API
for it, or just no GUI support?

Spending some time at http://api.libreoffice.org/ might answer that
question. [Look in the IDL reference]

Another good resource is Andrew Pitonyak's documents on Basic
programming for OO.o at http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php 

Of course touching base with Heir Schnabel [Add a comment to the
extension page maybe] wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Who knows your
update just might make into a future release :)

Yes - a known issue IIRC.
