------------------------------------

             Summary: Inconsistencies in the use of paragraph, character and list styles
                 Key: OFFICE-4084
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-4084
             Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Part (Formula), Part (Introduction), Part (Packages), Part (Schema)
    Affects Versions: ODF 1.3 CS02
            Reporter: Francis Cave
             Fix For: ODF 1.4


All three Parts exhibit similar problems, of which the main cases are:
 * Two or more styles being used for the same purpose within a draft, e.g. the paragraph styles âText Bodyâ and âDefault Styleâ both being used for body text.
 * New styles being introduced in later drafts, e.g. the conditional paragraph style âAppendix Headingâ being replaced by the non-conditional paragraph style âAppendixHeading1â in CSD02 only.
 * Styles being dropped in later drafts, e.g. the paragraph style âDefault Valueâ, applied to paragraphs that contain default attribute values, was somehow removed from Part 3 in WD13-03 onwards.
 * Many styles whose purpose is unclear and which appear to overlap other styles, e.g. in Part 3 there are four character styles âAttribute Valueâ, âAttribute Value Fragmentâ, âAttribute Value Instanceâ and âAttribute Value Paramâ. Another example: Part 4 contains list styles âExample Numberingâ, âNumbering 1â and âNumbering 5â (what happened to âNumbering 2â, ââ 3â and ââ 4â?).
 * Poor naming of styles, e.g. the character style âFurmula Subâ [sic] in Part 3, and inconsistent use of title case in style names.
 * Lack of stability in style definitions, which seem to change, especially in CSD01 and CSD02, e.g. changes to space above and below paragraphs, font sizes, background colors, etc.
