That is a perfect statement of an attitude to which I fully subscribe:
Let's fix it. The reason I have not tackled the wiki yet - either the
Writer Guide or the FAQ - is that I still (after strenuous efforts)
*don't know* how envelopes are supposed to work, or how to make sense
of something that does not make coherent sense. I suspect that is
what people have tried to do, and why the various info sources are
incoherent on the subject. IOW, I suspect that the problem is less
with the documentation than with the design - and that it may go
beyond the "Envelope" page style to more basic issues of how styles
are structured in Writer. That said, I just have not had time to do
more, but am committed to do so. As NoOp said some time back, it will
probably require digging into the sources - but without design specs,
or some clarity about the design intent, that can be a huge and
unrewarding job.

GOOD LUCK getting anything like that. I have been asking for this for
awhile without success. See for instance this thread:
