You can use styleref fields for headings that work in all international
versions, if you use just the heading number instead of "Heading 1"...:
{ styleref 1 } instead of { styleref "Heading 1 }

It would be nice if something like that would work for all built-in styles,
say
{ styleref -63 }
for the built-in "Title" style (wdStyleTitle = -63).

Currently, you can't really use styleref fields for other built-in styles
than Heading 1, 2, 3..., since you'll get error messages if the document is
opened in other language versions ("Error! Style not defined.").

Or simpler: Make the English style names work in all international versions.

Since the English style names are not allowed (for custom styles) in
international versions, there can't possibly be any conflicts.

And since the only effect would be that stylerefs that gave error messages
previously start to work, there's no imaginable "backward compatibility"
issue.
