I suspect that timed styles would be tricky to implement, in
particular if one considers the ability to "animate" a single cue by
having many timed style blocks between the cue's start and end points.

Depending on how style blocks end up being implemented, it could be
that the same code that keeps inline style from applying to other
tracks could also be tweaked to ensure that only cues that come after
the style block are affected. That would at least solve the
file-vs-stream issues.
