--- Comment #6 from Jean-Francois Nifenecker <jean-francois.nifenecker at laposte.net> ---
I completely support Regina's comments: a style name should never convey a
formatting setting name ("bold", "20pt"), but the intend of use for the style.
So, the 'emphasis' and 'strong emphasis' are correctly named, IMO, just like
'quotation' is, etc.
I agree that some names are not immediately clear to newcomers. They just have
to learn. In my young years, I had to learn to read and to write. Then I had to
learn about text processing and styles. Styles are not intuitive, they are
computing matter and this has to be learnt (and tought) as well. I strongly
think the tool can't replace a teacher. Never.
