I actually mean _all_. Why? Because the properties I want to change in a
Paragraph style are not the ones you might want to change. I may want access to
character width, but I also think that something like underlining or
italicizing should absolutely _not_ be used by default in a paragraph, and
reserved only for character styles. And believe me - those two properties are
heavily abused in practice (especially in Hebrew for which Italicization should
not even be possible  at all for typographic and historical reasons; but never
mind that).

That's why I wrote I don't think it's a good idea to try and choose the
"correct" subset of Character style properties editable in Paragraph styles,
and instead allow for _all_ of them to be edited. This has the benefit of
allowing the use of the same UI as for Character styles - making it easier to
remember what's-to-be-found-where.
