Now that the cause of the issue is clear, that you know of to fix it, and that
you have provided your suggestions for improvement, let's categorise this as an
enhancement request instead of a bug.

Bringing the UX/Design team back in to decide on if something needs to be done
here:
- warning? (I'm against such a warning, as it should apply to any attribute,
and many (any?) character style (for example, Internet Link, automatically
applied when a URL is recognised)
- disallow changing font size? (I'm against taking away a feature that might
very well be useful to some users, and making styles inconsistent)

Related improvements already requested:
- make it easier to spot what comes from the Parent and what is "fixed",
without relying on checking what is listed in the Organizer tab: bug 88559, bug
153623
- allow resetting per attribute, not just per tab: bug 89826

Based on the above, my take is "won't fix". Or marking as a duplicate of one
existing enhancement request - what do you think, TH?
