--- Comment #1 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 
<[email protected]> ---
It is true that pages are a "foreign entity" in a spreadsheet, and that most of
a page style's properties only apply to the output (print, PDF...) of the
document.
In fact, the only exception to that (that I can see) is the Text Direction:
it's the only property that also affects what is displayed in-app, on canvas.
And it looks like it's the only cell style property that can use the
superordinate value. (Which adds to the fact that linking cell styles to page
styles is an odd thing.)

So I don't think this particular issue warrants an overhaul of how styles are
handled in Calc.
Maybe the first (and only?) step in resolving this is to dissociate the
property Text Direction from Page Styles, so cell styles and page styles are
two unrelated things. (A related discussion would be envisaging the creation of
Sheet Styles, but I'm not actually sure this adds anything to what we already
have with Cell Styles.)

Would you agree to reframe this issue as "remove Text Direction superordinate
linking between Cell and Page Styles"?  Or am I missing something?
(And if you agree, then the solution for bug 138862 would be to have a "Default
(LTR)" cell style applied to LTR sheets.)
