My $.02, FWIW, is that it's naught more than a Word file.
Someone, somewhere, created a template that they use, possibly in Sigil or Calibre, for eBooks imported "from" Word (Word--save as filtered HTML-->Sigil/Calibre).
I mean, the CSS for one thing SCREAMS Word. The MSO-styles, ditto. The margins in pts, yet more bettah ditto.
That's Word and somebody, somewhere, for some reason, created it to use repeatedly. Not surprising if they have a process that suits them. They probably get the manuscript from writer A, copy-paste it into Template file Z and then save, export, clean the HTML (as much as is being done--not a ton, from what I see here) and import to the aforementioned Sigil/Calibre.
(Or, they give it to their authors, if they are a publisher and insist that they use it, like the Amazon "Word templates" that they give out.)
I agree, it gives me flashbacks to my very early days with MobiPocketCreator. I remember the first time I "saw" it, that feeling that "HOLY S**T! I understand what's happening here!" and managed to somehow make an eBook (a MOBI) from a Word file. LOLOLOLOL.
Wowzers, takes me back.
