Wouldn't that be the closest to the best of both worlds? As you say, this is 2013, where computer animation is detailed down to individual strands of hair, and we are simply talking about text displayed on a page.

There are so many things that would be used by a large percentage of users that could become new features. Making this particular thing happen (which I read as letting people create their own custom stylesheet on device, using some sort of checklist or drop down) seems to be important to a very small percentage of users.
I can't see Kobo investing developer time in this (though I have been wrong before
). For that kind of user, the best choice might be to develop a custom style sheet and then to substitute the book's style sheet with the custom one (which then Kobo would use automatically) or to not use a Kobo eink device and use devices that are built to do that sort of thing.
