Yes, right.  But since the AUCTeX docs suggest enabling the parsing on
the very first page, I guess most users simply follow that advice.

I've forgotten the [1] link in my previous mail:

  
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/opensuse/factory/noarch/emacs-auctex-11.86-14.19.noarch.html

So it seems that at least OpenSuse distributes many pre-generated style
files with auctex.
