I'm not sure what exactly you mean. Why do I need to "know the content" to set
its style?

We're talking about objects which all have text areas. 

If you were to make this argument about the case of objects which cannot have
any text, that's a different story - although even then, I should be able to do
some DF'ing, and have it  apply to whichever selected objects it can apply to.

That is not an alternative to allowing direct formatting, although that's
important to do as well.
