You need to implement a StyleContent (which is also responsible for 
producing a default value; so you actually need it). The WMSStyleContent 
is an example that saves a single string.

You don't need a StyleConfigurator, but it is polite (it allows the user 
to see what is going on and change the value) from the StyleEditor. You 
can modify the style entry from some other View or Dialog if you want; I 
only ask that you don't let Renderers modify the style blackboard (or we 
would get a very difficult feedback loop).
