Dear all
After having reworked the dialog and the manual, I propose to rename
everything related to the character dialog "Text Properties" (instead
of "Text Style").
The reason is that almost everyhing set there (except for noun and
emph, the only real text styles proper) is static (formal) markup. I
propose to reserve "Style" for something that is a defined entity,
something whose properties can be changed at a central place (i.e.,
semantic markup).
This also clarifies the UI, where you now have "Character Styles"
(semantic markup) and "Text Style" (formal markup) next to each other
(I'd even prefer "Text Style" over "Character Style", since the
semantic markup does not only change characters, but the appearance of
text passages [underlining is not part of a character, for instance,
nor is enquoting]).
That all seems sensible to me.

Though I am just an ordinary user and have no idea how you could ever
achieve all these improvements, but all you are proposing here makes a
lot of sense to me.
Thanks to you and your colleagues for your continuous efforts!
