I would recommend using hierarchal view of the Styles and Formatting 
dialog for
knowing which style is based on what. I don't really consider Heading 
showing up
when using one of the Heading X styles as obvious, at best I'd call it a 
hint.

Sorry I got snowed in on Paragraph styles and what shows up in the 
"Apply Style"
combo box in the Formatting toolbar, which seems to add all applied 
paragraph
styles. You make a good case for leaving Applied Styles in the Styles 
and Formatting
dialog as it is.
