i want to propose some changes:

style.tex should hold: the font (as sayed earlier palatino make pdfs bigger)

settings required for proper layout should be set by the writer (written
to the output): this concerns your solution for footnotes and figures.

the inclusion of the style file should be done after setting defaults,
so there is a possibility to overwrite defaults.

caveats: if an option is given to the documentclass other packages
  recognize it automatically (at least i read so), otherwise every
  concerned package needs the option (it said so in th FM).

and we need documented stylefiles so people have an idea what to use
it for.
