Another example. Suppose an author using \documentstyle{article} has a
number of composite floating figures, each composed of two or three
subfigures. Suppose the figures are numbered e.g. 7a, 7b, 7c for the
three parts of figure 7. Now consider what happens if the author submits his
article to a publisher X who changes the documentstyle to {article-x}
in which the default numbering for figures is \Alph (A, B, C, ...)
instead of numeric as is the default in article.sty. Then the authors
numbered subfigures will turn into Aa, Ab, Ac, Ba, Bb, Bc, ...
