I thought about that, too, but most often people would want it globally
within a single document. So you'd have to have some document-level
layout setting, lest you have to change every single style. So we end up
with a document-level setting, anyway, but one controlled through a
module. That's possible. It's even been done. But it seems a weird way
to do it.
That said, having something like:
Align BlockLeft
with this kind of meaning makes a certain sort of sense.
