Default *character* style is actually a pseudo-style; a name for "no character
style applied". While it might be good to document something about that, I
don't think that renaming it is a good idea, because its current name creates
some consistency with e.g. paragraph styles, where "default style" exists (and
is actual configurable style). For user, it means something basic and simple.
Or - if a rename is wanted - it could be something like "Character settings
defined at paragraph level" - too long, although correct. You cannot even name
it "Paragraph style settings", because "no character style" aka "Default
character style" means both paragraph style setting, and *direct
paragraph-level formatting* are used for character properties.
