I see this issue as RESOLVED / FIXED. Does this mean that OOo went back to the 
regression? Or is issue 47893 fixed?

To everybody:

Section 1 of the spec says: "... and to reset formatting (remove direct 'hard' 
formatting)." The word is being defined as "direct formatting".

Caption of Illustration 1 says: "OOo 1.1 already has a very similar function 
for removing hard (direct and character style based) formatting from paragraphs 
and text content". The word 'hard' is being redefined here with a different 
meaning.

Section 6.4.2 of the spec says that "Format-Default" when the selection is part 
of the paragraph, OOo 1.1 and 2.0 will "Clear hard character formatting". This 
is both, true and false according to the different definition of the word 
'hard'. However, The same table uses the sentence "clear hard paragraph 
formatting" and "clear hard character formatting".

It's clear now that both paragraph and characters can have hard formatting that 
can be removed, and therefore, that Format-Default with no selection or partial 
paragraph selection does different things. However, this is false.

I can go on and on about how the whole document is completely flawed, since the 
meaning of the basic word is taking both values. However, if you read it 
deeply, word by word, you'll find that the document uses the meaning of "hard 
formatting" as in "applied directly, without using styles at all".

Please see comments on issue 47893.

If issue 47893 is not fixed, Character Styles are useless. Character styles are 
expected to behave in the SAME way as paragraph styles, except for characters. 
Otherwise, they are not styles. That would be the only way for "hard 
formatting" to mean the same across OOo.

As a user, the expected behavior is NOT to be removed on default formatting. 
"Default formatting" means "go back to what the styles say".
