Hmmm... Styles are not so easy... (IMHO)
So it would be for "NotSoEasyHack" ;-)

That's why I ask you if it's possible to create a pre-whiteboard :
before working on new UI for styles, can we explain/analyse very 
precisely how styles work in LibreOffice 3.4 ?
For example, I have to tell you that I don't understand in Writer :
- what are the relations between "numbering styles" and "outlines"
- how the dialog "Bullets and numbering" really works, and what is possible
- what is the relation of the dialog "Outline and numbering"[1] with
similar properties of paragraph ?

[1] As soon as I discorvered it, I found it very usefull to perform 
quickly the global numbering of a document.
