Sean, your solution works if they don't have any chapter-specific variables (which could be overwritten if they followed your instructions). For example, if they use a variable for Chapter Name, and the file from which they import has a Chapter Name defined, ALL chapters would now have the same name. Oops!

We need book-level AND chapter-level variables -- or users need to plan their variables very carefully -- OR they can create special files that do not contain definitions for chapter-specific variables.

While we're discussing features. It's kind of annoying to have "Body" pop up as a default paragraph style, for example in text frames you draw for callouts, when you have long ago deleted "Body" and are using your own naming conventions for styles, e.g. "b body"... Could we define a "default style" for a file/book?
