What about the following compatibility proposal:
- messages with a BMH(*) of "styling" get styled according to the
  Styling XEP, and the markup characters are removed on display (but not
  on copy&paste)
- messages without a BMH get rendered as markup with the markup
  charachters in place (compatibility)
- messages with a BMH of "plain" get rendered verbatim with no styling
  applied (opt-out)

(*) BMH or an updated version that provides at least "plaintext" and
"styling" values.

A sending client could implement that by sending BMH="styling" by
default, and offering a "remove styling" button on the sent message,
which would send an LMC message with BMH="plain".
