That would be very helpful.  As things stand the conditional
formatting implementation supports almost super set of the style
elements that MS Excel allows.
    - background (pattern, and colours)
    - borders (Top, Bottom, Left, Right as in XL + diagonals which are not in XL)
    - Font elements (Missing super/subscript but supports the rest)
    - visibility and protection (not in XL)

We could add other elements such as input messages, or validation
but I don't see a pressing need.
