If we are not able to provide full compatibility, we must IMHO.

OK.

Hm. I have in one of my class files this:
% Prettyref:
\RequirePackage{prettyref}
\newrefformat{cha}{Kapitel~\ref{#1}}
\newrefformat{sec}{Abschnitt~\ref{#1}}
\newrefformat{sub}{Abschnitt~\ref{#1}}
\newrefformat{anm}{Anm.~\ref{#1}}
\newrefformat{fn}{Anm.~\ref{#1}}
\newrefformat{app}{Anhang~\ref{#1}}
\newrefformat{tab}{Tabelle~\vref{#1}}
\newrefformat{fig}{Abbildung~\vref{#1}}
\newrefformat{exp}{Argumentation~\vref{#1}}
Note that some of these definitions include varioref (the \vref macro), so
\prettyref{fig:foo} actually yields "see figure X on the following page" (or
whatever the context requires). I am aware that I will be forced to change
that class file if we completely ditch prettyref (which is bad enough), but is
refstyle at least able to allow similar inclusion of varioref functionality?
