Until ISO or ANSI or some body sets a standard for thesis styles, and I
don't expect this to be anytime soon, the best you can hope for is to
influence the local bureaucrats to accept a single local style for
typeset theses. And while you are at it, you can fix many infelicities
with current styles.  You'll have fun discovering how archaic some of
these requirements originally designed for typewriters are.  Some
criteria are even undoable on many laser printers, like printing within
1/2" of the paper edge.
