The original issue description from JIRA:

In ODF 1.3 all Parts exhibited similar problems, of which the main cases are:

  • Two or more styles being used for the same purpose within a draft, e.g. the paragraph styles ‘Text Body’ and ‘Default Style’ both being used for body text.

  • New styles being introduced in later drafts, e.g. the conditional paragraph style ‘Appendix Heading’ being replaced by the non-conditional paragraph style ‘AppendixHeading1’ in CSD02 only.

  • Styles being dropped in later drafts, e.g. the paragraph style ‘Default Value’, applied to paragraphs that contain default attribute values, was somehow removed from Part 3 in WD13-03 onwards.

  • Many styles whose purpose is unclear and which appear to overlap other styles, e.g. in Part 3 there are four character styles ‘Attribute Value’, ‘Attribute Value Fragment’, ‘Attribute Value Instance’ and ‘Attribute Value Param’. Another example: Part 4 contains list styles ‘Example Numbering’, ‘Numbering 1’ and ‘Numbering 5’ (what happened to ‘Numbering 2’, ‘… 3’ and ‘… 4’?).

  • Poor naming of styles, e.g. the character style ‘Furmula Sub’ [sic] in Part 3, and inconsistent use of title case in style names.

  • Lack of stability in style definitions, which seem to change, especially in CSD01 and CSD02, e.g. changes to space above and below paragraphs, font sizes, background colors, etc.
