While conducting a typographic study, I noticed that OOoHeading--the parent of the OOoHeading 1, OOoHeading 2, ... paragraph styles--had OOoTextBody as its parent. Was there ever a good reason for our doing so?

OOoTextBody is a serif typeface, and the OOoHeading x-type styles are sans serif. Is OOoHeading inheriting much of anything useful for our purposes from OOoTextBody?

While altering the OOoTextBody from its single leading to a fixed leading set at 120% (not proportional), that would wreak havoc with its OOoHeading child and carry it through to its children heading styles. I do not consider that to be a good feature in case any leading changes were ever implemented to the body text. Nor is linking the body text style to heading styles, in general.
