I don't just think that as a personal preference. I claim it's what users
_expect_, and it is what's useful to do.

On the contrary, it would maintain consistency and increase coherence.

Consistency is maintained because when you press Enter and continue in the same
style, DF remains in effect; but when you are editing a paragraph with a Next
style, and the style changes, you are now writing a different part of your
document. And you expect to now have the formatting appropriate for this new
part of the document you're writing; while the DF is something you wanted to
apply to the part you were working on before. So you expect the font to change,
the spacing to change, the numbering/bulleting to change - already today. What
do you expect them to change to? The non-DF settings of the Paragraph style you
have now moved to. 

Coherence will be improved, since the way things are now, when a bunch of DF is
carried along from the previous paragraph to a Next-PS, the formatting becomes
a mess of irrelevant DF over the new PS.
