Actually it wasn’t. Comment 0 only expressed an implicit expectation that the
Formatting bar was independent of formatting applied from styles. 

Fwiw, the OP originated from my (mistaken) assumption that the Formatting bar
would only show DF effects, and therefore could be used to identify DF in the
document. (This implicit point was appreciated and made explicit in comment 1,
which accepted the report as NEW, and supported further by another opinion in
comment 3).

Meanwhile, let me check whether the following gives an accurate account of the
relation between the Formatting bar and styles.

1. As an empirical fact, the Formatting bar shows all formatting, independently
of whether it comes from DF or an applied style.

2. The justification(?) for this design/behavior, generalized from comment 5,
is that a user does not need to know about styles, but can still interact
meaningfully with the visible formatting in the document canvas, using the
Formatting bar – regardless of whether the formatting came from DF or a style. 

3. Styles users cannot expect or use the Formatting bar to differentiate
whether formatting was applied by DF or styles.
