According to an earlier e-mail [1], there is a way to declare it already.
And you're right, allowing a user to specify different kinds of style
renderings would definitely put a burden on the browser maker.  What I
wonder is this:
  1) are there any other style types in the works (I haven't heard of any)
  2) if there are, shouldn't there be some way to use more than one style
in a
     page?
