--- Comment #12 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> ---
First - an app bug is never a documentation bug.

> Renaming might be an option but it would still be used as a style; 

Perhaps, but not as presentation styles. Actually, we should probably have a
deeper conversation about "not-really-style-styles" we have in all sorts of
categories, and whether we need some kind of paradigmatic reform. But that's an
aside.

> and some people disagree.

One person who disagreed did not explain why nor suggest an alternative. What
are the other reasons for disagreement?

That's a bug, actually - bug 151264. We should have proper table styles. But
see above.

On the contrary. Users read "presentation styles" and expect styles of
presentations; but what they see is something else. And coupled with other bugs
like bug 154493, and the lack of important style categories in Impress (bug
152652 and its blockers) - the effective result is that Impress users are
altogether deterred from using styles. And that's bad.
