--- Comment #5 from Eric Bright <bright.email at gmail.com> ---
A huge drawback of the current, messy hierarchical view is that since it is not
usable as it is due to all styles being listed whether or not they are applied,
one cannot easily know which paragraph style is inheriting properties from
which other style in a glance. This causes a huge problem later when you want
to change levels or other organizational settings and suddenly see seemingly
unrelated styles are being "randomly" changed as a consequence (of course it is
not random, and they are inheriting properties from the style you just changed,
but you cannot see that). This, in my opinion, defeats the whole purpose of the
hierarchical view.

With a clean hierarchical view, as is suggested in the OP, and proper branch
lines that visually connect and separate each branch from others, for the
Applied Styles, one can easily see and understand what is going on.
