I disagree.
This would be an additional, big and unmanageable source of problems. Styles in
documents are *document content*, even when they are yet unused. If you ignore
that, templates loose their meaning at all. I prepare templates for further
reuse of styles (among other things); so when you paste and re-define my
template styles, it is simply wrong.

Please don't introduce this "redefine if unused". I could agree with "redefine
all if explicitly requested", but not that.
