Description
w:name sets the display name of a style as it appears in the UI (style gallery, style pane). It is defined in ECMA-376 Part 1 §17.7.4.9.
The w:val is the canonical localisation-independent style name (e.g. heading 1, Normal, Default Paragraph Font). The w:styleId attribute on w:style is the locale-independent programmatic identifier; w:name is the human-readable label.
