Sure but in *either* case, a 1-button creation/clone still requires a dialog of
some sort to immediately give it a name--and any likely use case would also
need to adjust its inheritance/next. Even if no other attribute were changed.  

Why I say the current F11 Stylist -> New... is sufficient -- its Organize tab
provides for minimum naming inheritance input.  Can apply immediately to a
selection, or just populate the Custom and Applied styles list for application.
