That does not contradict what I said.

I didn't suggest a unification of Character and Paragraph styles. I suggest a
distinction between the Character Style aspect of a Paragraph style, and the
rest of the Paragraph style properties + the inheritance from the parent style.

Implementing this proposal would have no immediate effect on the Style pane;
only on the UI for setting Character properties of Paragraph styles. But even
regardless of this fact: Suggesting to users that a Paragraph style contains an
implicit Character style is already the case in MS Word. Have a look at the
style sidebar there:

The PS icon for some paragraph styles _contains_ the icon for a Character style
(an 'a' letter), plus elements alluding at paragraphs (multiple lines and a ¶
pilcrow). IIANM, the distinction between when the Character properties are
completely inherited, or whether there really is a "non-empty"/"non-trivial"
inherent character style modifying the inherited properties.
