I don't even know why having styles would concern having the possibility to create a master document. When you're working on a reasonnably large project, it's simply easier to split it. For example, having each chapter in it's own file, instead of loading one huge file. It's more stable and easier to navigate. Ahem, still don't get why you're mixing the presence of styles and master document. The only link I can think of is that a master document's style override the sub-documents, but even then... maybe you can clarify what you meant?
