This is what my patch does. Also I think that *all* charstyles should travel

document classes). So there will be no more "Undefined" charstyles.
Be careful. I don't think it is wise to store everything and the kitchen
sink in the document. And users shouldn't be able to modify a document
class / layout... that stuff belongs more properly in template files.
The user should at least be able to modify his/her own styles.
What is the problem if the user changes a style that came
with the document class? I.e. "in this particular report I want
"emph" to be red text instead of the usual italic."
Or how about "centered subsection headings in this article",
no reason not to allow changing the paragraph styles either.
(Nobody is implementing that, just a design consideration.)
I think user ability to override arbitrary parts of the document
layout is good, as long as such changes is stored in the document.
That way, such documents may be freely exchanged.
