FL: Thank you for your detailed explanations and I understand your need and I am
sure that this will work for you and people with detailed understanding of word
processing. But our experience with normal users shows us that those do not know
anything about those invisible attributes and their impact on the document
formatting. That is why this attribute will not be copied to the next paragraph
on pressing return. 

Let me give you an example seen many times in usability tests we have made:
People don't know about spacing before and below a paragraph and have no clue
how to get rid of these spaces, as they format using blank paragraphs to add a
spacing between paragraphs. This behavioral pattern did   become a problem in
OOo 1.1 where numberings started over (beginning with 1.) again if the numbering
has been turned on after inserting an empty paragraph to add a spacing between
two paragraph of a numbering. We also had similar issues were those invisible
attributes have been extended all over the document i.e. the end mark of a
document's index where many people did extend the index on the last paragraph of
the index to write their document and so the non visible attribute got copied
across the whole document. On updating the index, the whole document content was
gone.

This is the reason why we are not planning to change this behavior. I propose to
introduce a visual indicator in front of the paragraph, showing up when the
nonprinting characters are turned on and the paragraph has the keep with next
attribute.
