How so? All other style categories share the semantics of:

* Formatting a styled entity does not affect its (named) style
* The Format menu refers to the entity itself, not its style
* Different entities with the same named style can be formatted differently

and only page sequences fail to obey this IIANM.

As for the effect on users - myself, Teleso and jan d note the effect. It
should also be mentioned that MS Word does not use the same paradigm we
currently do; theirs is a completely different approach, with no named page
sequence styles at all, but there too, you are not put in a situation of
"spooky action at a distance", where you are trying to just format the current
page and end up affecting some pages you don't even remember are related.
