--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
>From the beginning (LO 3.3), up to v.6.0, Draw contained fewer built-in styles.
In 6.1, some new styles were added; and in 6.2, the list grew to the current
state.

There are styles that are *required* to allow the program functioning: those
that are used in some algorithms. For Writer, e.g., that would include the
style used in tables, in headings, in normal text; without them, those tools
would not be able to produce expected results. Same is true for other modules:
Calc, Draw, Impress.

But obviously, there are styles that are added just to allow some *idea* how to
use them; or to provide a usable *defaults*. While there is a value having them
by default, it's absolutely not reasonable that *those* non-essential styles
can't be removed. This issue is about inability to create a template without
those (using such a template would be the answer to the "never come back" part:
if one were able to remove them, and save the result as a template, maybe
setting it as a default one, then every document based on that template would
inherit the customized set).

I confirm that we should allow making the built-in styles removable (so they
need some flag to distinguish between those that ca and can't be removed).
