Crap. I could swear that used to be available in Star Office...

That's a thought... part of the problem with that would be that there
are a number of styles that they use that don't fit with DocBook. That
would also mean I'd have to add elements to DB or something... 

It strikes me as an odd feature to leave out... if you're going to use
styles frequently in a document, it would stand to reason that you'd
also want to have hotkeys that correspond to styles in the same way you
have hotkeys that correspond to bold text, italicized text and so on...
