Except that it would not be a simple UI, as it hides what it actually does. It
is a bit like a UI asking you for what you do for a living, and then later
offering you templates which are relevant to your profession. Our users _are_
stuck - for now - with the RTL-CTL/Asian/Western language trichotomy. It is not
a good idea to pretend that it doesn't exist in Tools > Options; we must let
users clearly and explicitly control the behavior of the application; we must
avoid, as much as possible, them having to guess what their choices actually
imply.

... this question illustrates the point I made in my last comment. If this UI
were simple, this question would not come up. It is not simple in itself, and
it gains more complexity when considered in the context of the authoring
languages UI in MS Office.
