Well, we still have our great Navigator redesign... :lol:
But seriously, yes, we need to make styles more friendly.
And we need to also consider character styles: they are even more
difficult to explain, specially because there is no indicator on the
user interface to show if there is any applied on the text. I think we
need a style selector/status bar: something like this:

If you go to the Character Styles list (or Paragraph, or any other) in the
Styles and Formatting window, the list will always select the style that is
applied to the current position.

I don't say it is the best way, simply that there is a way.

I like the idea by Octavio ... the core thoughts might help some people
if they try to understand why this / that documents behaves that way.
But - just a gut feeling - the combination of choosing and checking
styles might lead to less usability for the "normal style selection". So
might a detailed "Formatting Inspection" some idea (e.g. being an
extension)?

Here is what Microsoft did - and to quote "I don't say it is the best
way, simply that there is a way." :-)
