So, in this kind of scheme, you could have multiple styles, each of
which defined a few attributes, and they would stack in some
particular order to give one consistent result? Sounds cool.
So, you manually set the paragraph color to "DarkRed", it shows dark
red. You then apply a style defining paragraph color as "LightBlue".
That blocks the "DarkRed" but all other attributes shine through. The
paragraph now shows as light blue. Later, you go back and get rid of
that style (from the stack of "styles that apply here"). "DarkRed"
now can shine through again, and the paragraph shows in dark red. All
other attributes, like fonts, weights, spacing, are unaffected by this
example but could have been affected by other styles one happened to
apply.
Is that what you're saying?
