Why not just put the common settings in a .ts file you use in each
document?

Admittedly there is no easy way to do it, you have to check the Scheme
source to figure out the name of the variables you want to set, but that
is not all that difficult (page width is "page-width", and so on).  The
only slightly tricky part is setting the margins but it have already
been documented... somewhere on the wiki or the mailing list archives.

Or maybe you cannot effectively set some variables from style files. I
remember having some problems with that in the past. It may have been
fixed (or got worse) since then.
