--- Comment #8 from Yousuf Philips (jay) <philipz85@hotmail.com> ---
(In reply to Octavio Alvarez from comment #6)
Then I chose option (a) ;-) Out of kidding, option (a) is not a bad option
either and I am open to it if it makes it easier to understand. It's a sign
that it may be easier for other users too.

Option (b) is the only correct option in my view. I tried the same example in
MS Word and the result was quite strange as step 5 resulted in 'LibreOffice'
being bold and the other text being not bold, and step 6 resulted in all the
text being bold and no longer looking like step 4.

My suggestion is [so far] strictly about *the application / un-application
of default formatting* because it clearly breaks the user expectation as
currently implemented. It has [so far] nothing to do with changing styles.
Changing a style is just the easiest way to expose the broken behavior.
Another way is through the paintbrush as DF plays a role on how it works:

Please provide an example that is only DF, if it has nothing to do with styles,
and not using paintbrush, as that opens up a different set of problems.

6. Place cursor between "a" and "i" in "Plain". Hit Paintbrush. Hit the "a"
in "Heading". Nothing happens at all.

this would be a bug in paintbrush in my view.

7. Place the cursor between "r" and "c" in "ForcedRegular". Hit Paintbrush.
Hit the "a" in "Heading". The word "Heading" turns regular.

I hit the "a" and only the "a" turned regular, so i'm assuming you clicked on
the entire word.

When applying Direct Formatting, attributes that end up matching the
underlying styles [1] should be unset.

I could agree with you and Heiko on this behaviour.
