The reason I'm asking this question is that I'm trying to commit a 
rather egregious abuse of named styles.  Specifically, I'm trying to 
use named styles with no attributes as a means of "tagging" rows with 
text without using a specific prefix in the topic string or note field. 
  Then I want to use AppleScript to find all the rows which have had 
these invisible styles applied.

So it's quite important to my plans that "influenced" doesn't just 
describe the visual appearance of a row, but all the styles that may be 
impacting a row, whether seen or unseen.
