That would be pretty cool.  Right now the style system is pretty stupid,
mostly a refactoring of the legacy "set all the mailing list object
attributes" approach.  I think we could do better, not only in the way we
define and apply styles, but maybe also in removing the restriction that
styles only take effect at list creation time.

That could be a sufficiently large enough task for GSoC.
