That was from content.xml. Interestingly, their definition is different 
when I save the document out as .fodt:

<style:style style:name="T1" style:family="text"/>
<style:style style:name="T2" style:family="text">
<style:text-properties fo:language="en" fo:country="GB"/>
</style:style>
<style:style style:name="T3" style:family="text">
<style:text-properties fo:language="en" fo:country="GB" 
style:font-name-asian="Arial"/>
</style:style>

In this XML document the words and spaces alternate between T2 and T3...

So there appears to be some degree of inconsistency and arbitrariness at 
least in the way these styles are stored as XML.

Of course, when I navigate through the .odt in LibreOffice the only text 
style which appears to be present at those parts is "Default". Even when 
I apply other text styles to a block of text, the saved XML alternates 
styles between the words and spaces.

Why could this be happening?
