But there are two 2 ;)
I think that sub-styles as currently implemented, i.e., per processor,
are not useful. They could as well be replaced by a list of regular
styles (e.g., "text-caps-full").
Completion is not really an issue either. We could require
export-oriented citation processors to declare the styles they support
through a dedicated keyword in `org-cite-register-processor'.
Completions utilities, like the function you wrote, could then read from
that list.
The question you raise about compatibility between processors is
interesting however. Without sub-styles, non-standard styles (roughly
anything but default, text, author and year) would, as you noted,
fallback to default style upon switching citation processors. E.g.,
"text-caps-full" would become default. With sub-styles, OTOH, fallback
mechanism would be able to grab root style and try using it before
dropping the ball to default. E.g., "text/caps-full" could gracefully
degrade to "text", and, if not supported, default.
Sub-styles buy us nicer switching between processors, indeed. But they
come at a price, too. In particular, we need to re-define inheritance
between styles defined in `org-cite-export-processor', "cite_export"
keyword and the citation object. As I wrote earlier in this thread,
there are multiple ways to deal with it, so a clear design is in order.
Plain styles already exist. Sub-styles requires more work. Does the
benefit outweigh it? If so, what do you suggest for the inheritance
problem?
