be the Default for that paragraph. The reason to make this distinction is that it is one thing to say, "Give this paragraph the default alignment, whatever that is" and another to say, "Make this paragraph fully justified, no matter what". The difference will only show up in certain kinds of cases, such as when one is changing layouts,
really, who cares?
but it seems to many of us, at least, that the difference should be respected,
nobody has come with with a good reason to go the current route imo. the only argument seems to be "we should provide the ui since it is possible in latex", but even though something is possible it doesn't mean that it is sensible.
i also think that non-latex users have a reflex to set things explicitly and will therefore abuse the dialog to set paragraphs to justified even though it is the default etc.
