While the paragraph styles provides an hierarchical organization we do not have
it for other types. And actually going with only two top-level categories
(print and screen) makes not much sense to me. 
On the other hand I fully agree with a couple of _plain_ styles. But in the end
it's up to the user to choose the right one and to layout the document. Table
styles are not capable to align depending on the content (numbers, text,
currency...), you would have to provide different variants, which is awkward
IMHO. Table style can define padding but not the column/table width and row
height. Check out

And finally I would wait for the outcome of the survey. We want to keep the
community involved rather than design by committee. That doesn't mean that the
likely high-rated "Scientific" style cannot be refined or supplemented later.
But if the users down-vote "3D", for instance, we shouldn't invest much in this
variant.
