I find the inheritance mechanism of attribute-sets to be quite handy. For FO applications, one often builds large collections of attribute-sets that inherit from one another: body styles inherit font sizes, etc. so that changes at a granular level can cascade throughout many defined styles. One may use import precedence of the stylesheets within which the sets are defined as a very clean mechanism for localization and customization. Less-skilled users may make modifications to reports; yet one only exposes those sets of properties one chooses to make configurable. New application level styles can be propagated without trodding upon local resets. A web presentation layer can benefit in a similar fashion from such treatment.
