Hmm... For me own use I wrote a script that used search and replace (formatting only) to remove local overrides, as this is how I have always done it through the UI.
As I'm still learning scripting, I'm trying to understand out what the benefits are for each approach (i.e. Shane's way of applying the style vs search and replace with the style)
I'm probably missing something essential and I would appreciate if anyone cared to explain what it is <g>
Here's the script:
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
set myDoc to active document
set myPara to paragraph styles of myDoc
repeat with anItem in myPara
set properties of find preferences to {applied paragraph style:anItem}
set properties of change preferences to {applied paragraph style:anItem}
search selection for "" replacing with ""
end repeat
end tell
