I think it would be both simpler and safer to just provide a list
variable, e.g. safe-local-eval-list, and let the user add his
well-known eval hooks to it; the hook-code should then simply see if a
questionable eval hook is a "member" of that list.

E.g. I could add that specific 
        '(c-add-style "StyleX" '(....)))
to the list.

And Karl could add his '(load "...") to the list.

A much better approach IMHO.
