At present, if one sheet is locked in a spreadsheet, it is not possible to edit
any styles, not even styles that are not used on the protected sheet and even if
no cells are actually protected on the locked sheet. Under issue 4679 it was
decided not to fix this on the dubious grounds that it is a feature not a bug.

There are many situations in which it would be desirable to protect the data in
some cells/sheets while still allowing for the possibility of changing the style
of others or even the style of the protected cells. Therefore:

1. Only ever lock the styles that are actually applied to protected cells.
2. Provide an option for not locking those styles in the 'Protect sheet' and
'Protect document' dialogue.
3. In the 'Cell protection' tab of the 'Format cells' and 'Cell style'
dialogues, provide an option to protect data only and allow changes to the 
format.
