Then maybe we need to rethink all of this business of style identification and resolution, and where we want to be in the future as a community of implementers? The style ID is intended to be a globally unique, stable, identifier for the style. It makes no sense for there to be 50 ids for each of 50 copies. I guess what you "really need" is to know how to get a copy of the style so that live formatting is consistent when sharing documents? At the same time, we ideally really want CSL development and distribution to be distributed, and so by definition to involve many arbitrary URL domains (not just, as it is now in the repo, zotero.org).
