Wouldn't you agree, then, that this research suggests that a
productive next step for developers to explore would be something
higher-level to capture both of these classes of use cases: the simple
minor change in formatting, and the more radical "major changes"
(though I'm skeptical these actually exist when you consider the full
range of extant styles)?

E.g. for the first case, from the user perspective: see example
possibilities, and choose which they want?
