Direct character formatting added to more than half of a paragraph
will be removed as you apply a different paragraph style; but an
applied character style will be preserved (no matter how much text is
formatted with that character style), as you change the paragraph
style. You can easily test this with (say) the Emphasis character
style and italics applied as direct formatting.

(over 50% and it's hosed, I think).
