It's because nobody ever finished character styles. It should have gone
like this:

F: Where's bold?
B: Why do you want bold?
F: well, I want to type bold text.
B: But what's the *meaning* of it being bold? You must intend something
by it, otherwise you'd type everything in bold, or never.
F: Well I suppose I want to use it to mark commands the user should
enter
b: Ah, then you should use the <foo> character style
