Doesn't matter what they are called though. What does matter is that they give me an opportunity to make text to look different. For example if in the middle of a story there is a letter, then I use annotation which is configured to use: Swis721 BT Roman with indent 4, shift 10%, justified, width 95%. Then for the author of the letter I use text author feature, with Dutch801 Rm BT Roman, indent 0, right justification, shift 5%, width 90%.
When you use HTML02HTML utility to convert to HTML with CSS, does it save all the settings? I tried to rename html0 to html. It lost all of these niceties that create the proper atmosphere when I read a book.

HTML02HTML keeps all styles generated by BookDesigner. The options for each style can be configured in the style.css file, which can be edited with a text editor like notepad. For example, for "annotation", you will find the line:
Code:
.annotation {text-indent: 0; text-align: justify; font-style: normal; font-size: 1.4em;}
The easy part is changing indentation (text-indent: 4), the rest is not so easy, but can be done (you would have to do a little research, but it is worth the effort). Note that you only need to change the style.css file.
To use a specific font for a style, you will have to use font-embedding. You can embed the necessary fonts inside Sigil and after that specify the desired font in the line above. Bear in mind that ePubs in the 505 do not use the same fonts as LRF's.
This sounds more complicated than it really is. If you want to give it a try, I am willing to help.
