We have a difficult time with TOO MANY different style
components in our Frame inventory. AT&T cobbled up
a shucksload of styles, adding ones for Department A,
five more for Department B, etc., etc. We use less than
a third of the available components on the list.
Having twice as many unusable styles as there are
usable styles on the list really slows down production.
So keep it simple. Add more only if really needed.
