LO 3.5.0rc3
Ubuntu 10.4

I just hit "Standard" on every tab on a custom Paragraph Style linked with
Default. I ended up with "Contains: White, Transparent + Shadow: Gray, Not
Transparent, 0.18cm, No Shadow + don't count lines" on the Organizer tab.

Then tried it with Default itself and ended up with: "Contains: Asian text:
11pt + Text aligned to base line + White, Transparent + Shadow: Gray, Not
Transparent, 0.18cm, No Shadow + Text direction left-to-right (horizontal)".

So it looks like "Standard" isn't clearing everything it could / should. That
would be a separate bug though.

So, is the "Standard" button actually the answer for how to do this Style
"clearing" / "fall-through" thing?

If it *is* the solution, I'd suggest changing the label of that button to
"Defaults". I realise the terms are very similar, but "Standard" implies that
"there are a set of standard property values which will be applied" (kind of a
positive action), whereas "Defaults" better implies "put this back the way you
found it", which would encompass the idea of unset properties falling-through.

To head-off a possible criticism, I would suggest that "Defaults" is not an
unreasonably technical or obscure term, so the word "Standard" has no benefit. 

At the very least, Defaults is a word people /should/ know, gosh darn it!
