It was inspired by it.

By the way , I assume you applied:  ...<table:table-cell>...

I have no problem with that, but it caused me to wonder why we have 2
attributes for <table:table-row> that both seem to set the default-style
for cells in that row.

If I understand it right to figure out the style of a cell we have in
order:

style given in table:table-cell
style given as table:style-name attribute of table:table-row
style given as table:default-cell-style-name attribute of table:table-row
style given as table:default-cell-style-name attribute of table:table-column
style given as default-style for table cells.

So I wonder about 2 things:
Why are there 2 attributes for table:table-row that do essentially the
same thing.
Why are we jumping over the table level, ie. do not have
table:style-name or table:default-cell-style-name attributes for
table:table.
