Give a list of journal styles a user has used

Title:
Give a list of journal styles a user has used

Area:
account management, styles

Summary:
Say you want to change your journal style to a really cool style you used a while ago... and now you have no idea what the style was called. Wouldn't it be great to be able to see a list of styles you've used in the past?

Description:
This hasn't been an issue for me on Dreamwidth yet, but I bet it's only a matter of time (I just ran into it on LiveJournal). Say you want to change your journal style to a really cool style you used a while ago... and now you have no idea what the style was called. Wouldn't it be great to be able to see a list of styles you've used in the past, so you don't have to page through all the styles and try to remember exactly what it looked like?

This could be a link called "[user name]'s Theme History" from the "[user name]'s Current Theme" box on the Select Journal Style page. The link would go to a page with a list of styles that have been used on that journal before. (It would be extra cool if each style named on that page included a link to the style, but even just the name would be helpful.)

Possible drawbacks: one more thing for Dreamwidth to keep track of. Also, when Dreamwidth starts getting more custom styles created by users for other users (modifications on site styles), I'm guessing this list I'm proposing would only be able to display the name of the site style that was the base for the custom style.

(P.S. I am confused about the difference between styles and journal themes, so if I've misused either term that's probably why.)
