topics for a style discussion

[Jos van den Oever <Jos.Oever@koop.overheid.nl>]

Last week we came across the topic 'style discussion', the notion that 
we need to look at a number of style issues together.

I've looked through the issues that are tagged for 1.3 and that are 
related to styling. There are 11 issues that have a potential major 
impact and that could be discussed together so that changes that follows 
from them are consistent.

The issues are listed below as 'Potentially major change'. I've also 
included the other style issues for completeness sake. However it is my 
assesment that any change from those issues is fairly isolated.

The hard part about styles in ODF is reasoning about how inheritance of 
styles and nesting of styled elements works together. For 1.3 we should 
try to not make that reasoning harder.

Best regards,
Jos
