If we look for a binding for "text processor" modes only, it would be more logical to have the face bindings on, e.g. C-c C-b => bold C-c C-a => italic (easier to type that C-c C-i) C-c C-d => default etc. These are currently unbound in text-mode. This may (haven't checked) conflict with existing bindings in other text-related modes eg. enriched-text-mode or tex-mode, and also be shadowed by C-c bindings in other modes derived from text-mode. -- Kim F.
