Not really. I don't want a multi-level hierarchy. Either 0-level or 1-level;
and the item text is the full text I would see in the organizer tab of the
Style dialog, e.g. "Blockquote + RGB(255,128,0) + Superscript automatic +
Borders top (Black, Single, dash-dot-dot), Spacing 0.05 cm"

Naturally, this will exceed the length we have available in the sidebar. But -
that's fine, because:

1. Tooltip.
2. The user will be able to see which content they selected, so they can
double-check it's the right item in the Stylist.


> Strong -1 for diluting the strength of the Stylist with arbitrary attributes.

You're not diluting it at all. This would be an _optional_ toggle, defaulting
to off. So, unless you want to see this stuff, you'll see the same thing as you
do today.

> The Stylist is not meant for copy/paste, use the F&R dialog.

The stylist is meant for locating and selecting content. But since this seems
to bother you, let me mark a dependency on bug 89974.

And the F&R dialog is irrelevant, nobody would use that to select anything.

> > 4. Browse the document and have the content with that style highlighted.
> We have the Styles Highlighting, also in combination with DF.

Yes, but - the highlighting will not distinguish between the DF you want and
other DF over that style. Plus, it only shows you indications at the side of
the page, while you want to see selected text (for CS).

> Why would you want to use a perfect control to list and manage styles to

1. We can clear DF from that content
2. We can apply another style to that content.
3. If DF is allowed by manually selecting multiple pieces of text, it should be
catered for also when the selection is automated.

But I don't have the selection, Heiko... I need this feature in order to make
the selection and apply the new style to everything.
