Are there any rules of thumb as to when a preference change happens

Somewhat of a reverse way of asking this: Is there any standard for
when to apply a preference to the active document vs to the next
opened document?
Users expect preferences to take effect as soon as is logically
possible. This is actually quite easy if you're implementing
preferences using bindings.
A preference is just that -- a personal preference. If you tell
somebody at a deli that you don't like mayonnaise on your sandwiches,
would you like the person behind the counter to take that into
consideration immediately or ignore it until the next time you exit and
enter the store? :)
