Yes, but I'm quite tired of this discussion, sorry.
I already explained that I stored it there because when saving, we could 
duplicate styles if we use the TextFormats.
This attribute is not to be shared between several blocks, if we store it in a 
KoParagraphStyle, it could be "shared".
Example :
<text:p text:style-name="ParagStyle">Hello world, I'm a paragraph</text:p>
<text:h text:style-name="ParagStyle">Hello world, I'm a heading</text:p>
Since we use only the style name to distinguish the paragraph styles, we would 
have either the two blocks being headings,  either the two blocks being 
paragraphs.
