Hi all,
This is something I threw together
doc = app.activeDocument,
ps = doc.paragraphStyles.everyItem().getElements().slice(0),
l = ps.length,
paraStyles = [],
c = 0;
while (l--) {
    var styleDetails = [], n = 0, s, x, p, q;
    s = ps[l].properties;
    for (x in s) {
        p = (s[x] && s[x].hasOwnProperty ("name")) ? s[x].name : s[x]; // change according to requirements.
        if (p && p.constructor.name == "String") p = '"' + p +'"'; // ok if the sctring doesn't contain a " mark
        else if (x == "tabList") p = getTabList (s[x]);
        else if (p instanceof Object && p.constructor.name != "Enumerator") {
            var objProps = [], z = 0;
            for (q in p) objProps[z++] = q + ": " + p[q]
            p = x + " {" + objProps.join(", ") + "}";
        styleDetails[n++] = x + ": " + p;
    paraStyles[c++] = "{" + styleDetails.join(", ") + "}";
temp = new File (Folder (Folder.temp) + "/" + doc.name + " Paragraph Style Properties  " + ("" + new Date).replace(/:/g,"\xB7").replace(/\s\S+$/,"")+ ".txt");
temp.encoding = "UTF-8";
temp.lineFeed = ($.os[0]=="M") ? "Macintosh" :" Windows";
temp.open('w');
temp.write("\uFEFF" + paraStyles.join("\r"));
temp.close();
$.sleep(300);
temp.execute(true);
function getTabList (t) {
    var tl = t.length, n, pTabList = [];
    for (n = 0; n < tl; n++) { // if the leader etc. contains a " then you have to use ' instead of "
        pTabList[n] = "({alignment: " + t[n].alignment + ', alignmentCharacter: "' + t[n].alignmentCharacter + '", leader: "' +t[n].leader +  '", position: ' + t[n].position + "})";
    return "[" + pTabList.join(", ") + "]";
function getGrepList (g) { // nestedGrepStyles
    return // couldn't be bothered to do this one, sorry
    var tl = g.length, n, pnestedGrepList = [];
    for (n = 0; n < tl; n++) { // if the leader etc. contains a " then you have to use ' instead of "
        // pTabList[n] = figure for yourself
    return "[" + pTabList.join(", ") + "]";
You can then recreate the styles by splitting the string by "\r" and using doScript or Eval.
Might be better to produce a tagged doc with <alignment> foo </alignment> type structure to get around quotation porblems
However for a simple import export snippet wouldn't this be better?
var doc = app.activeDocument,
      newDoc = app.documents.add(),
      fp;
// if you need to add function to remove app.styles that are automatically added to the new document
fp = new File (Folder.temp + "/" + +new Date + ".indd")
doc.saveACopy (fp);
$.sleep (500);
newDoc.importStyles (ImportFormat.TEXT_STYLES_FORMAT, fp); // can add all sorts of things to import or load
fp.remove();
// You now have a clean new Document to load the styles from using importStyles
