Kind of objecting. Workflow example: Enter some text in table cells.. Select
the text  and apply a different paragraph style..
Now I want to 'revert' to initial/default state (similar to Clear Direct
formatting).


And it's also untrue that the behaviour being consistent over the years.
4.4.7.2 switched to textbody previously And being this way ever since.. doesn't
automatically mean it's great, IMHO. It was more problematic with the 'old'
behaviour because tables expanded. This is not the case anymore. 

And the principle of tables having a own PS style, likely done with a reason,
else it could/would be Default Paragraph Style anyhow, I think

So I kind of assuming 'Clear Formatting' should revert to Default Table
Contents PS, instead of reverting to Default PS. The Default PS feels to me as
an omission. As Tables having different style (not default PS) being
exceptional and missed at implementation.

Notes of discussion about this in the OoO days or even StarOffice days are
welcome of course. If this more an accident or intended
