1. You are trying to over-regulate the procedure, without thinking why it is as
it is (and removing my resolution, when I would ask if it's up to you to do
that, and if it's polite). The why is that usually all would behave as you
expect; but sometimes the problem gets the attention of someone who is not just
guessing, but who happens to know exactly; and that person takes the
responsibility to give a final decision on a problem that shouldn't waste
others' time.

2. Your example is exactly why it should *not* be implemented. Even in your
example, there's no way every part would need *every* bit different; and most
likely, it would need *most* (but a couple of details) consistent. Fonts, their
sizes, spacing, headings, ... In this case, implementing your proposal breaks
the fundamental principle of the master documents (which you refuse), which is
- ability to set the style centrally, and have all the sub-documents look
consistent. Someone making the final preparations, and deciding to change
something, would have to edit individual documents on each and every thing they
need to change globally.

Direct formatting, or separate styles per chapter, which is something that the
creator would be perfectly aware of, is the solution to your example.
