Syncing styles

mark
It would seem to make eminent sense to sync styles. Is that technically very difficult? One use case is where you've been modding a style on one side and using it in a document. You can't even work with the document on the other side unless you change to another style (which in a large document is costly).

    It doesn't address the problem of private-use styles, but the style ID can (and probably should) be a URI that resolves to the actual style itself. A reasonable expectation is that Zotero would prompt to install a style found in such a way when it comes across a document that refers to an unfamiliar style. Similar auto-loading is done with dependent styles today.

    If the loading of styles worked no matter where the style ID / URI pointed, posting the modded style on github would be enough to let them be loaded dynamically as well.
