Hi Thorsten,

you are right. I remember that I wanted to do that on the locator branch 
but I found a reason not to do that. Now I don't remember that reason so 
I cannot be so important :-)

We could introduce one style file that is included at the beginning of 
each style file (point, lines, polygons). This file can be used to store 
the locator branch rules.
