Could please clarify what you're rating with -1 precisely . You're right about
down voting comment 3. However, I don't think that that's being the topic.
Talking past each other isn't really helpful.

Me having surely totally different understanding of the topic. So yet again not
following..

True; but is this the topic?

----

The case - as far I'm reading the request of the OP (Or I'm yet again talking
about something totally different or different perspective)

I'm limiting myself to 'Tabs-stops' for now (admitting the scoping being
larger)

They OP poster deploys systems with document templates. Sometimes the user
wants a different tab stop setting compared to the embedded one. So you can
point to:  Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General.

However if you change the setting there, it doesn't only affect the only the
opened document, but all new documents created in LibreOffice where no explicit
tab stop being defined

I do think that should be possible to list all the in document defined
settings. Which seems to be practical for authors of templates too. You else
might be incident include something you didn't think off. As those are being
introduced by LibreOffice General settings..

Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > General is a global setting, for all new
documents. It is not the tool for CHANGING/EDITTING the pre-existing Tab stop
setting for a single document.

Showing all embedded settings could be done in File -> Properties; which could
look like the Style Inspector approach. 

Where talking about things like
* Default Printer
* Tab Stops
* Multipage - Single Page view
* Zoom-level???
* Last position in Document (I recall this being stored, or I'm I making this
up?)
* Other additional options which are also stored in document (which needs
checking the ODT specifications, I guess).

Is there any documentation (full list) of type of setting can be embedded in
ODT?  

It also aligns - in my perception - with my request for showing the File Format
Version somewhere in the Document Properties window.
