They are present as they arent in the toolbars and are only available in the
menus.

> 2. Clear Direct Formatting is to be considered a styles tool.

Its a direct formatting tool as it doesnt affect styles.

It was intentional. :D

Clipboard functions are the most used functions in any app and they are the
only exception to be included in all places, but likely not for long. (bug
84848)

Definitely important enough that it was added to the toolbars.

So I was removing it in 5.1/5.2 in this patch (
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/20446/ ) and Maxim suggested i not push it
in as it would conflict with his work and he would incorporate my changes into
his patch.

The discussion regarding the removal of direct formatting entries is in bug
81132 and i removed the entry from the context menu once it was added into the
formatting toolbar. With easy access to the option in the toolbar, it shouldnt
be available in the context menu.
