Two important additional points to Regina's comments:

1.  "Standard" and "Reset" apply only to its tab -- not to entire style dialog.

2. But "Apply" (on any one tab) applies to entire dialog (i.e., making "Reset"
impossible on all tabs).

PROPOSED IMPLICATIONS FOR UI

I. Ideally BOTH buttons (Standard and Reset) should be inactive in a tab until
they actually can have an effect. 
   a. Standard, only active if differences on tab compared to its parent.
   b. Reset, only active if changes on tab, and Apply has not been used.

II.  Proposed button name changes:

"Standard" -> "Reset Tab to Parent"

"Reset" -> "Undo Unsaved Changes"


Or in the style of Heiko's taste...

"Standard" -> "Reset Tab"

"Reset" -> "Undo Tab"

...with tooltips like:

Reset Tab:   Reset tab to values from the style specified in Inherit From

Undo Tab:   Reset values to initial state when this tab was opened

(especially for "Undo Tab" it would be important that it is greyed-out after
"Apply" -- otherwise it would appear that "reset" could undo "applied" values).


II should be an EasyHack, less certain about I.
