Essence.. Expanding a PS results in a very very long list.. with all
attributes. You have to search for certain entry's. Instead of showing all,
sometimes only interested about here a style diverges from default. Instead of
having to skip/scroll through everything I don't care about.

Where "I" can be read as user. Personally not really care.. except the instance
I looked at I searched for the deviations.. And that needed more effort
compared to anticipated. 

So bug doc as such might be misleading (looks like I'm 'inventing this right
here and now)... 

In this case it was probably more about the inherited stuff. So Footnote Style
doesn't stand on its own. But inheriting Default Page Style stuff (in this
case). So PS doesn't make clear they hierarchy. And collapsing of PS is obvious
(else a long list), but on they other hand still hiding relevant info if you
ask me.

We will know soon enough.. after the release.. Except we still miss the numbers
on how many people actually will use they Style Inspector (or if it doesn't
solve the problems people encounter). But that's over outside the scope here.
