--- Comment #10 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
A dialog with a control (or two) to choose what it is about is BAD. We *almost*
don't use this kind of UI - and the only place that I can recall that does this
is a UX disaster: Options->Load/Save->General->Default File Format and ODF
Settings. There, the "Document type" dropdown controls what the next "Always
save as" control manages. And users really struggle to understand that
selecting "Spreadsheets (Calc)" there, they can edit the settings for
spreadsheets. Please PLEASE no more such UI.

But in principle, I don't oppose some *other* kind of a change, which would
turn the dialog into a better UI for managing styles, e.g. with a tree of
styles that clearly show which of the styles is selected at the moment, or
something no less clear and giving context.
