* Content controls: typed text takes the control's formatting, in any language

Text typed in place of a content control's placeholder takes the
control's own run properties (w:sdtPr/w:rPr, ECMA-376 §17.5.2.27), as
in Word: in a protected form filled in Word for Mac, all 17 entered
values carry the style their control's rPr names. WordCraft kept that
rPr only as XML to write back and gave typed text the placeholder's
formatting minus the placeholder style.

It also knew the placeholder style only by its English id,
PlaceholderText. German Word writes Platzhaltertext (the name stays
"Placeholder Text"), so in forms from German Word every entry stayed
grey, on screen and in the saved file, and restoring a placeholder
added a second Placeholder Text style. The style is now found by its
built-in name.

* Content controls: typing drops a showing placeholder's own style

A control without run properties that shows its placeholder: text typed
over it drops the placeholder run's character style whatever its id
and name. Word localizes only the placeholder style's id, but another
program may localize its name too, and the name lookup then misses it.
Restoring a placeholder and new controls keep the name lookup.
