I'm sorry Jay, I don't agree. Using different terms for the same thing is
always confusing. Particulary if we promote the use of styles, it is necessary
that a user is able to recognize at first glance, that the same styles are
meant in these cases. For me it was hindering and I think for other users it's
still hindering if they have to check this first.

Of course more descriptive names are a good thing, but these names should be
used everywhere in the user interface.</pre>
