How about reserving questions of style (heading style, font, etc.) for the
writers/editors? You might also define a standard style that will be used
as a default style.
Default styles are cost-effective because they don't have to be discussed
with everyone. Text processors very quickly learn the default style and can
set up templates. Everyone (almost) quits discussing style and starts
looking at content.
