--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
The problem is completely unclear. The description talks about some
hypothetical "messing up", without providing steps to reproduce the issue. It
could be "from scratch", like "create a new document; do this and that; see the
XML, check X and Y; the expectation is Z"; or the steps could start from an
existing provided sample.

Either way: this is definitely not a feature that we need. If there is an
actual problem, that some actions result in something undesirable, then that
problem should be fixed. If there is a need to clear everything, then paragraph
styles can be reset exactly the same way as character styles (selecting all,
and applying the default style). This is definitely not an operation that we
expect users to need often; this is definitely not an intended workflow.

And no, "cleanness of the source text" is not a priority by itself, only after
tons of other things. LibreOffice is not a source code editor, it's a WYSIWYG
suite, and it is free to create its XMLs using any algorithm it needs, the only
strong goal is correctness.

Also: what people often perceive as "uncleanness", could be in fact things
actually needed - like inclusion of Asian / complex font info, which is often
unexpected to users who don't realize, that their UI simply hides some
properties (because that is defined in options), but these properties exist
nevertheless.
