%>One quite useful distinction between styles and packages is this.
%>A style is something that you could seamlessly (well, in the
%>ideal case, anyway) another style for and the work would still
%>typeset properly.  So you could have your own personal style and
%>a journal (an enlightened journal, at least) could substitute its
%>own style.

I think it must be more complex than that, otherwise article and book are not
styles---one will respond to \chapter but not the other.
