Simply to have your default stylsheet be different. See how word does with
"Normal.dot" all styles are taken from "Normal.dot".
That require saving default stylesheets to the document too has changing the
default stylsheet should not change how other documents appear.
That also require an "Import styles" feature.

A strongly vote for that feature.
