First, in the "mental model" of the document - or at least my mental model -
the page sequence style is a feature of a page sequence. The fact that it's
literally written in a page break element in the ODF is not very fundamental to
my view. But - that's just an observation regarding phrasing.

Anyway, the answer is the same as for the case of paragraphs. That is, instead
of whatever page style they had before, they would now get a different page
style - either a named one, if the page formatting action was choosing a named
style, or a generated unnamed one, if the formatting action was applying DF.

If I understand what the quote means, then - that is not what I'm suggesting.

User would expect it a page style to be applied - And it would be applied. But
since the page sequences covering the selection involved more pages before and
after it - then a larger range of pages got the formatting change / named page
sequence style applied.

Just like with paragraphs. Can illustrate with a screen grab if that helps
clarify what I'm saying.
