I'm still kind of confused by this.. 
* CTRL+M removes all of this information.. (desired/undesired/ makes sense?) 
* This doesn't happen with 'normal editing.. you get all those special fall
back settings for free. If you insert a symbol and go typing again.. the DF
will be present all over the place.. And interfering with 'use styles'
concept..

It also hits the unwanted (additional) direct formatting topic..

Hope someone having a proposal here :-)
