This is a good question. One thing that could happen is you get a request for all kinds of styles suitable to individuals' taste around the world. That would be a headache. So, I'm sure you don't want to go that route. However, I can remember learning a ton of stuff by trying out the presentation styles, of which I think there were about four different ones when I was looking at them. so, I am thinking, why not put out styles for book, report, article, letter, slides, but have several examples of each. For example, you might have book-1, book-2, book-3, etc., where in one you have underlined running heads, in another you don't, etc. That way, people can go into the preamble and learn a little about setting up their own layouts, much as I tried to do with the presentation styles. More work, but just a thought. I really learned a lot from those presentation styles, and in fact, will be revisiting those styles again toward the end of my sabbatical, just before returning to work. They were so helpful.
