I think it's a good idea, but I wouldn't export the style syntax to the X resources. Instead, it should just add the style name to use for the application, i.e. (wahtever the correct syntax is). -xrm "fvwmstyle: foobar" would tell fvwm to use the style "foobar" for the application (instead of the application name). This way, the whole configuration is still in the config file and there is no need to allocate styles dynamically (which is slow and potentially buggy).
