I would prefer it if there was no direct formatting. If the buttons 
Numbering, Bold, etc. actually applied a style on their use. They could 
all have their own style if need be assigned to the button. For the 
normal user the fact they are styles is hidden but it would mean that 
the document is not full of direct formatting. One of the most 
frustrating things is fixing other peoples documents that are full of 
direct formatting.
