I would think that would take away the benefit of a master document. By 
having the style controlled by one master document, you get consistent 
formatting throughout. If that could be disabled, you could have 
different chapters with different formatting all because one or two 
chapter files had their styles set up differently.

I like the control provided by the master document. It frees me up to 
not think so much about formatting in my sub-documents knowing that the 
master will fix it all.

For example, I can create subdocuments using a Consolas font, an 
excellent typeface for onscreen editing. Then, I set the master document 
with Linux Libertine G, a great font for publishing, but not so great 
for onscreen editing. When I go to compile and print, voila, my master 
document is perfectly formatted, changing Consolas to Libertine *and* 
fixing any minor style deviations I may have inadvertently created.
