it's hardly something you do that often, is it? sorry, I probably
don't get your context. The use I see for this is
_either_ switching to a preferred style for the whole reading session
(in which case I want the style request to be persistent, by the way. If
I switch document A to style B, and A has a link to C, I want C in style
A).

_or_ switching to a different transformation, eg a different
sorting order. in which case losing your place is not relevant.
