In reply to Thomas Lendo from comment #0)

fwiw framework/dtd/menubar.dtd indicates "label" is an attribute for menuitem.

It would be possible to change the command names in the Styles menubar for
Writer without changing the .uno labels.  

I am willing to make changes in the Writer menubar (alone) -- if such a
limited, ad hoc change, is not opposed. 

But have you considered that there are also many popup menus and menus (e.g.,
forms, report, web) that use these commands, so if an adhoc solution (beyond
the main menubar) was required, then it would involve examining all these
variations -- while yet another solution is required for all the notebookbars.

(similar issues appear in Calc, Draw and Impress).

> See tooltips in Formatting toolbars or tooltips in the properties sidebar
This is difficult to address at present because the same tooltip is used in
Calc (where cell styles are updated and created) and in Draw/Impress for
objects. As noted in comment 2 and comment 7, contextual tests are needed, and
more importantly, new functionality is required (see comment 3) for it to make
sense to have these contextual tooltips.

As for comment 7:

Hard to evaluate the reasons behind that assessment...but "surprise" usually
involves violation of expectations. In the Style menubar context ....there are
many characteristics that afford an expectation that "Edit Style..." can be
used for all style families...which is what motivates the offer to change the
Style menubar in Writer.
