This is exactly what I expected from these settings: to be able to define a default for *this document* which *can be different* from the program wide default - example: poster versus handout - - different defaults needed. To be able to select one of the available styles for the document default would be perfectly fine, although I think this list could potentially grow quite large over time when working on different types of documents.
