I don't like it that much either but macros.vm is the place were we keep
the velocity macros used to include the WYSIWYG editor in a page (e.g.
wysiwyg_editProperty). Among them there is wysiwyg_storeConfig which is
used to provide the default values for the WYSIWYG editor configuration
parameters.
I can use $xwiki.getXWikiPreference('wysiwyg.styleNames', '[]') to get
the list of style names. This way you can enable and configure this
feature from the wiki, without touching macros.vm .
