Since this subject is being discussed, I wanted to mention something
else that might or might not be related.
In both AbiWord and Word, styles can be based on other styles.
In Word, many such derived styles maintain the name of the "based on"
style in their definitions. For instance, the default definition of
the List Number (1) style in Word(97) is ‘Normal + Indent: Hanging
0.25“, Numbered, Tabs: 0.25"’.
Thus if, for example, I change the font in the Normal style, the font is
changed in all the styles that are based on Normal (including the cited
List Number (1) style).
I haven't yet tried the similar thing in AbiWord, but I'm hoping that
capability will exist someday if it doesn't already.
I don't know if the style "name" / "style" discussion has any impact on
this or not, but I was concerned that it might.
