I think that is a great idea. It can indeed provide an intuitive way
to remove a style without introducing non-structured (Word-like)
features or elaborate heuristics.
At the moment you can remove the innermost style with E-backspace, but
that is not really advertised in the user interface.

This feature has already been asked for quite a few time, but I think
your idea of introducing a style stack in the menu makes it much more
practical than the naive implementation.
I will happen sometime, more structured edition features are quite
high in the wishlist.

Well, that would not be hard to do. Though I do not think I can do it
right without additional information. I am not familiar with the use
of theorem-like environment. But if you can be more precise (are they
theorem-like, proof-like, or warning-like, how numbering should be
handled) creating an appropriate package would be piece of cake.
NB: in the case you are, like me, DIY-challenged, you can still try to
impress here by doing that piece of software yourself ;-)
It would be nice you you could have a look at the wish list on the
Wiki [1], and write a proposal that we could include directly...
