...which really isn;t necessary, as you can do the exact same thing by selecting the layer in the XML editor. Sorry to waste everyone's time...

I had cobbled together a pair of extensions that turn groups into layers and the current layer into a group (attached). This will let you test out the practicality of defining a style on a layer..

I also think it would be very useful. Do you have a proposal for a UI?
So I've been thinking about this for a day.
At first my idea was to do something like Photoshop's Layer Style UI: that would be a new dialog that would look like the stroke\fill dialog but perhaps with more tabs for selecting filters. It could be a way to create an interface that is familiar to users of Photoshop, i.e. professional graphic artists.
But I think there's a much simpler solution. if you could select the layer itself you could just edit it like any other object. You could select it in the layers dialog, using a key binding - I suggest Ctrl + click.
There will be a need to indicate a layer has a style, with another icon in the layers dialog.
The real problem I see is how to get the user to select "unset" for their shapes
- otherwise the layer style won't apply.
