Probably TextAttribute since they can be added to partial texts whereas styles pretty much have to be applied to an entire view's text ( at least, in the current rather tacky implementation). Or maybe a new thing that does a similar job but can also process the selected text.
We have attributes for 'this is a doit', 'this is a link to a browsable item' and so on, so perhaps another one for 'this should be run through a processor' could work. There is of course a potential issue with clashing attributes; imagine some text that has been partly underlined and then some of it is selected for Shout-styling. We do already have some handling for this with the TextAttribute>>#dominates: methods, perhaps it sufficient as-is?
