A far better solution would look like this:

PREREQUISITES:
1. various parent-elements inherit styles from child-elements
   In this example, the page style inherits attributes from
   a paragraph on the specific page.

When the user drops a page-style on a specific page, the first paragraph that
starts on that page will receive the new page-style attributes. [This is because
in OOo and ODF more broadly there is NO physical concept of page, but the user
does NOT need to know this detail.]

Then, the page on which this paragraph is displayed automatically inherits the
page style. There is NO need for page break. [It is still wise to have a page
break, because the previous paragraph may flow on this page, or there is even NO
paragraph starting on this page - if the previous paragraph is very long and
starts on the previous page and goes up to the next page. BUT, per se this
method does NOT need any page-break, and would work even IF the paragraph from
the previous page flows on the current page! This latter thing is currently not
doable, even with low-level page styles - only IF knowing exactly how many pages
are in the document and this number is fixed - a very messy procedure.]

Similarly, the style may include a page-break property, so the paragraph will
automatically insert a page-break when necessary, so no need for the user to do
it automatically.

The user just drops a page style on a page, and the first paragraph
automatically grabs the page-style properties. This is it.
