Flat paint holds dirt more because of the texture. I was referring to

Pretty much all paint will stain with that stuff.

It is also lousy to sand when
one wants to repaint, and trim around busy doorways usually has dings to
sand out.

That's true enough. Wonder when they'll get around to developing
sandable latex...
