--- Comment #2 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
In my opinion:
(A) The number of dash styles in the standard.sod palette should be restricted
to those styles which correspond to the dash styles used in MS Office, each in
addition in a "round" variant.
(B) The list in the Line dialog should show all additional dash styles, which
are contained in the current active document, maybe which are contained in
current open documents. The displayed names could be prefixed to mark those.
(C) The name of a dash style in standard.sod should clearly state its
structure.
(D) The purpose of the "sys" dash styles had been to map them directly to
styles available in rendering engines, which results in faster rendering. In
case that is still true, those styles should be marked. 

The dialog still allows to edit and create dash styles and to save and load
palettes. So a default palette with a lower number of styles is no principle
restriction.
Listing the styles of the document allows to edit older existing documents
using those styles usual at the time of creating the document. It would also
help editing documents produced by foreign applications.
The preview of the style in the list item is too small to allow a good
distinction. Therefore a structure-describing name helps. Of cause for the dash
styles coming from the document, the name has to be used by which it is defined
in the document.

So for me it is not a simple "rename style" but there is some coding needed.
