Meaning of PageStyle as a class parameter

[ehud.behar at protonmail.com]

By the way, I just checked two other layout files that consist of only one argument for PageStyle:

aa.layout (Astronomy & Astrophysics) and amsart.layout (American Mathematical Society (AMS) Article).

The first should allow the user to use only page style "plain" and the latter only "Headers".

But opening a new file from the File->New.. menu and changing the new file's document class into either of these, keeps the full general list of the default article class just as it was before and doesn't make any effect to the page-layout drop down list.
