It received my input, even if I couldn't attend the meeting. And there is Ady's
input from the dupe bug. It should also be noted that this "design meeting" was
just yourself. Which is not your fault of course, but it was still just you
making decisions.

> The request has an unclear use case

That is an unserious claim, Heiko. It's the use case known very well from
Microsoft Office.

1. Not so. You can want to see what kind of use a style is put to in the
document, _before_ deciding whether you want to do something with the style or
with the content that has the style applied.

2. There are several purposes for such selection, and Ady pointed out a common
purpose, which translates into a common use case of this feature in MSO:
Reformatting or deleting the relevant content en masse. Also, for any purpose
for using the search-by-style in the F&R dialog - the same purpose applies
here, except that the search is simpler to achieve with this feature if a known
existing style (or style+DF) is what you're searching for.

I have established how that is absolutely not the case in comment #9, and no
argument has been made to the contrary (according to the design team session
minutes). So I just don't see why this was not marked as NEW. Please mark it
that way.
