It's the revenge of the weird taxonomic western culture.
If you hate your users and don't know anything, you think systems should be designed logically. Logical, to you, will mean that similar things are put together. Likewise, similar will be defined by occupying the same spot in some weird taxonomy of all things in your head [1]. This will result in putting change the font size, boldface, and indention in a little tray of "things that happen to text". This is either because you are crazy or think your users love playing the $25,000 pyramid. You will then compound your madness by labeling this tray with the not-an-icon of an italicized, underlined, bold letter A.
If you do not wish to be one of these bad people that turn their UI into some sort of Lovecraftian chest of drawers where the contents of each drawer is another chest of drawers, please investigate "task driven user interfaces". They are better. Things that use task driven UIs are illogical and messy and unbalanced and much, much, more pleasant for the people who have to use them.
[1]: This is culturally determined and possibly different for every individual. Nobody else will understand your taxonomy. There is no way to fix this. Sorry.
