Yes Area is integrated into the Properties dialog(s).  But the UI glitch on
the Format sub-menu is that the Area button (.uno:FormatArea) in the "Text
Box and Shape" menu goes active when either a Frame or an OLE object is
selected.

Yep Area should likely be disabled when selecting a frame or ole object.

Should there be a set of .uno commands for the Area formatting by object
type? Now they're all using the generic .uno:FormatArea 

Didnt follow.

Sorry, just thinking out loud... the DrawingLayer SdrModel and
SdrObjects/SdrPage are getting a hard look, although it is probably
premature to worry too much about changes to the UI.  But a good chance the
DrawingLayer object controls will be unified--and that draw elements could
individually get properties dialogs both in Draw, and when used in the other
components as we're doing here with lines, shapes and symbols.  There still
would be the different object types--but they'd could potentially have
consistent controls and behavior.

Went right over my head. ;D

Now I see reasoning behind the change: objects in Writer are divided into
"text boxes and shapes" and other object.

Well actually the main issue is that only in Writer have different categories
of objects have been defined, which is why Writer has for example image objects
and its properties are in Format > Image > Properties, while in other apps you
have find the properties in Format > Object.
