I guess this may be useful in case one works with some combination of 
remote desktop (eg thin client) and/or resolution.

There may be more choices for different use?

Connections should be considered useful for connections over certain 
networks ..
Databases ... just cannot be missed.

In situations where you work with people from different countries / 
locales etc.

Same..

I'm not sure, but maybe the difference it that setting it for the 
document, makes styles behave as chosen, and that selecting and setting 
language has to be done over and again?
On the other hand: the menu option is rather recent compared to the Option..

Is it OK if I add some opinions on that page (again)?
