Example 1:
Properties set to values relative to an underlying style:

Today, if you have text in a style with font size 12pt, and you DF the font size of some
word to 15pt, then change the style to some heading with 20pt - you'll keep your 15pt
from the DF, even though now it's smaller rather than larger than the paragraph baseline.
But if you were to DF your font size to be "125% of underlying", and you change
the paragraph style - you would now have 25pt.
Example 2:
Application of multiple styles simultaneously:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149271
so you could possibly change just "some" of your style, not all of it,
potentially reducing destructive interaction with DF.
Funny: 30-year-old WordPerfect got these right - likely because its styles were not
categorical (like "Paragraph", with it panoply of attributes to be
instantiated, and those attributes often specifiable only within a Paragraph style). For
example, a font size style was relative (Larger, Smaller), and a block quote style could
specify spacings and margins irrespective of fonts.
The SO/OO/LO decision to be a Word work-alike imposed certain costs, like the
styles model. It may be impractical to rethink that decision, but is probably
useful to keep these models in mind as we work out solutions.
