     * [Character styles] Make more clear that the font used is from
       the paragraph style
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153623
       + part of bug 88559 "Display of inherited attributes from parent
         styles in Styles dialog" (Mike)
       + visual clue that an attribute has not been explicitly set
         or unset is needed (Andre)
       + show an indicator on altered attributes (Eyal)
         + could be similar to system settings at KDE (Heiko)
       + not showing the actual attributes from the PS is a bug (Eyal, John)
       + changing the character format inline for multiple paragraphs empties
         the varying fields, which is easy to follow; otherwise it takes the value
         from the PS, again easy to understand
       => comment
    
     * WRITER: Can't define a character style for Regular font variant
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155113
       + starting from a PS with italic font, this attribute is taken into
         the CS and can be changed into regular, meaning it could be solved
         with the above (Heiko)
       + there are some reasons to create a CS not based on any PS (Eyal)
       + show the indicator in a greyed-out appearance if an attribute is
         changed and allow to make this sticky; clicking on the indicator toggles
         from on to off (removing individual attributes from a style)
       => easy to understand
    
     * Remove (or change functionality and label) of "Default" button
       in Styles tab of Insert Index dialog (see c1,c6,c7)
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153653
       + decision for c6 & c7 needed (renaming proposals)
       + make style selection likewise the B&N dialog (Eyal)
         + does not work as this dialog has way less attributes to assign
       => go with context menus and maybe a trashbin-symbol in the middle
          for the factory setting
    
     * I want to choose my Notebookbar without changing my whole User Interface
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148123
       + merits as MUFFIN proposal (Stuart)
       + power users may like this, average users don't need it (John)
       + if the UI is customized (Notebookbar + Toolbars) it should
         be persistent (John)
       + menubar on/off is remembered
       + low priority (Eyal)
       => fix the bug
