--- Comment #29 from Alex Thurgood <iplaw67 at yahoo.co.uk> ---
My concern here is that there has been an assumption that deleting the entry
from the context menu will somehow orient users to apply styles rather than
direct formatting.

For that to be the case, the styles have to work reproducibly and reliably.
This is clearly not the case with the default Title/Header styles at least, and
the "workaround" given on the bug report associated with incorrect application
of Title/Header styles was to use the "Clear formatting" command. This
particular bug (I don't have the reference right now), FWIW, is still around
today.

One can not and should not be a proponent of a workaround for a given bug and
then make access to the tool required to apply the workaround more difficult.
It defeats user expectations and leads to disenchantment in user perception of
the development process.
