In any hierarchy of application either A overrides/XORs B or it is the other
way around. If a paragraph style is moved higher up the hierarchy (to
override/XOR directly applied formatting) then directly applied formatting can
no longer override a paragraph style, which is a far more serious problem.

If the idea of a hierarchy seems problematic/unwanted then some sort of
alternative method needs to be proposed (and the ODF/OOXML specs rewritten with
this in mind).
