I find ‘requireStyleResolver()’ a little confusing.  My first expectation is 
often that a method is an imperative command on the receiver, so I first read 
'requireStyleResolver()’ as mandating that the document now requires a 
StyleResolver, rather than referring to the need of the caller.

In a previous codebase I’ve worked on we used ‘acquire’ as a term of art for 
lazy creation (as a synonym for get, with an inherent connotation that doing so 
may nontrivial).

    StyleResolver& acquireStyleResolver();

cheers,
G.
