Heiko, I understand your arguments, but I don't agree with the conclusion.
Original bug report shows, that it isn't always easy to figure out, why a
pasted text doesn't look as expected.

So in the case you paste text from another document I would at least expect a
message like: "You paste content from another document. Copied style formatting
will be overwritten by styles with the same name." OK | Cancel | Don't show
message again (Of course you can use a better English)
