I see two problems:
Sometimes I _do_ want to change a document's style regardless of what it was 
equal to once.
Sometimes I want to send a document around, and I want it to look on other 
people's computers like it did on mine.

A solution to the problem:
Linked styles. When copying styles via the template organizer (from a template 
or another document, regardless), you can choose to either copy or link them. 
If you link them, a copy is still made, but only for emergency, should the 
original file be amiss. In the latter case, a clear indicator must be present 
so the user knows something is missing.

That'd make it much easier working with global documents and several sub-
documents, if at one point the styles need to be changed.
