Ask is for user questions; and this is a user question. Especially since it focuses on "usefulness", which is a topic exactly fit for Ask. And no, this is not technical question, since strictly correct and technical answer about *why* is it so is not good for you. > FWIW: Enhancement request are no bugs either, if we want be nitpicking.

Bugzilla is for what TDF intends it, not for what you imagine it is for. It is *the* place for enhancements. Period. > I'm surely not good at reading technical documentation. You surely are not. What you're good at is wasting everyone's time. > 16.30.2 appears to > be about 'Paragraph Styles (styles!). And text style referencing to > "character style" (I guess) Yes. Styles, as defined by ODF, and in ODF, *every* bit of formatting is implemented using styles, DF being defined also by special kind of styles - automatic styles. So everything described in 16.30.2 applies to DF. > The advantage of the (presence of) Paragraph Direct Formatting next to > Character Direct Formatting being unclear to me. This is definitely off-topic here. As said, "what is it useful for" is for Ask, whatever you might think. > > Direct Formatting should not be be distributed around easily.
