Take a look at 7.1. I'm referring to the "use" attribute (or really, attribute type, I guess, since it's an architecture), not the "use:" characteristic.  For example,

<style-specification id="foo" use="bar">
<style-specification-body>
(define y x)
</style-specification-body>
</style-specification>
<style-specification id="foo">
<style-specification-body>
(define x 1)
</style-specification-body>
</style-specification>

I can't find any place where the semantics for "use" are defined.
