Well, my take is completely different :) I think we should get rid of
the Noun charstyle in std latex classes, and only keep charstyles for
*ML, where that are really needed.

Do you _really_ think that ``normal'' LaTeX users will thing that
having the name of the style written under every emphasized word is an
improvement? As they are I think they really hamper the reading of the
document on screen. They are distractiing and take a _lot_ of screen
estate to convey an information (emphasize, noun) which is not really
needed, since people see on screen what the style is. Of course, this
is not true for a style like "First Name", but this is not what we are
doing here.

Note that this does not prevent people from defining their own
charstyles in their classes.
