Location of Format definitions
Where are the formatting names used in Structured EDD actually defined? For example, where is HeadingLeadIn defined, which is used in Structured\xml\UserGuide\app_xml\UserGuide.EDD.fm

I see now, however what concerns me is the format definitions location in the template file. With structured applications, one of many benifits is that all existing documents built from the application can have the format uniformly modified by changing the format rules in the EDD. If the format rules are changed in the template, how is the change going to be reflected in existing documents?
You're staring into the face of the separation of content vs. format debate now...
Some would consider the ability to define all of the formating in the templates to be a key benefit, as you can swiftly swap out templates without having to change your structured application.
In any existing documents, you would have to manually apply the revised templates (File > Import > Formats) to make changes to those documents.
