You're right, so it's ridiculous working with character styles. The cleaner
solution is to work with paragraph styles and only with character styles when
necessary (for emphasis, etc.). The implementation now is absolutely weird.

I agree that only a small set of features should be available for comments. As
working much with comments, I really only need font, strong emphasis/emphasis
and simple list features in comments. (Font because the default comment font
changed somewhere in the past and I don't want comments with different fonts in
a document. -- I simulate lists with "* Blabla" now.)

I think there should be a paragraph style for all comments in a document with a
small set of paragraph features available and very limited direct formatting if
any. Use cases like in comment 5 need more than one paragraph style for
different notations with various paragraph features.

Before implementing a style there should be a consent of what features we want
to be available in Writer comments and subsequently in other LibO components
too.
