I'm not sure I understand.
Do you mean, should the CS style (e.g. bold) be just a Bold style, or should it
be a style that copies all the properties of the PS and then adds Bold to that
and creates a PS, or is it just a CS style (e.g. StrongEmphasis, or
SimplifiedCharStyle2 or whatever) applied on top of the PS?

I think to try to keep the number of styles to a minimum, it probably means you
use the PS and just create a new CS.

Similarly for the section highlighted - should that be one of the above two
options, plus Highlight?

(I just realised I don't know if Highlight is a character attribute that could
be turned into a style, PS or CS...? I just tried, and couldn't find a way to
set a character style to do that.  So I think it's saying, if you highlight,
that can only be done with DF.)

I'm guessing you meant to have "not trying" there.

I empathise. I doubt it's true, but I understand what you mean.
