He wants to be able to apply device-specific styles to Preview. So he can emulate how his epub looks on a device's stock settings (without having to diddle the epub itself).

I don't know how likely a feature like that is to materialize, but I can see the benefit (though independent user overrides won't make it all that useful). Most device-specific rendering quirks require coding changes to overcome anyway. And Book View/Preview was never intended to eliminate the need to test on target device/apps in the first place.
