I would guess that my styles work just fine about 99% of
the time, but every once in a while there comes a situation
where the "correct" style doesn't quite fit, but modifying
it to make it work will ruin the other 150 or so paragraphs
with the same style. In that case, I'll "cheat" the style
with a bit of manual reformatting, and sometimes I'll even
"cheat" the frame size for a signle page. It's either that
or create a special "based-on" style for that one instance,
and IMO, compromising to keep the number of tags in my
templates down makes individual "cheats" the lesser evil.
