I tried to accomplish that with

    \definealternativestyle [versface]
      [\versface]
      [\versface]

but (a) I do not understand why one needs such definitions (it
would be appropriate for the versface style to default to these
settings) and (b) it does not get me where I want to be: now,
the headers are typeset in boldface at 100% of the requested
size, while the inline abbreviation is typeset in medium face
at 92.5% (versface). What I want is to have it typeset in bold
versface. :-) Do I really have to type

    \definealternativestyle [versface]
      [\versface]
      [\versface\bf]

to accomplish that? But then, how do I handle cases like

    blabla {\em \FOO} blabla

in normal text, where I want to be typeset in italic versface,
or even the same line in a header, where I want it to appear in
bold italic versface? It seems that I have not yet understood
how to distinguish between font commands that are "absolute"
(\versface seems to be one of those) and commands that are
"relative" (like \it).
