I want to elaborate on what makes me cautious about this specific aspect.
SI is a tool used in a place of current cursor. Its natural/intended use case
is when someone inspects some place to understand why a visible result is
produced. And it's reasonable to expect that user wants to "fix" something when
the problem is identified.
But it is the focus on a specific place that makes it dangerous to allow
editing individual parameters of styles here: user might be tempted to "tweak
this little thing here", to get the wanted result, only to see (or not see!)
that it broke the things elsewhere - because it was a *style* that was changed.
Only allowing to open style dialog when changing style properties could
emphasize that it's style that is being changed (so the change has
document-wide consequences)...
So it all is not so simple as "give me that innocent-looking tool NOW!!!!". It
all needs consideration.</pre>
