--- Comment #2 from Matthew Francis <fdb...@neosheffield.co.uk> ---
Thank you for your suggestion, which was helpful. However, I believe that there
is still an issue. Please allow me to restate slightly

The specific property in question is then not "surrounding text" (which as you
say does not exist as a concept), but "previous paragraph".

Two further examples which together show the inconsistency of existing
behaviour:

1) If I create a paragraph with style "Heading 1", set the language to "English
(USA)", then press the return key to insert a new paragraph, the new paragraph
has the style "Text Body", but still has the manually selected language
"English (USA)" despite the fact that the new underlying style has the language
"English (UK)" selected. Thus, in the general case, manually set attributes are
inherited by a following paragraph even when a new style is selected
automatically by the style rules.

2) If I set all the text in a paragraph to have font "Wingdings" and language
"English (USA)", then insert a table from within the paragraph, the table
content also has font "Wingdings", but language "English (UK)". Thus, there is
already a mechanism whereby some, though for some reason not all, manually set
attributes are inherited by (the paragraphs within) a table.

I would suggest that a manually set language is also an attribute which it is
useful for a table to inherit, just as the manually set font is already
inherited.
