The key is the vernacular principle: in Allan Bell's account, as given in the question, the style shift most regular in structure and in relation to the language's history is the vernacular, the style in which least attention is paid to speech. It is the baseline against which other styles are measured.
The principle of convergence refers to accommodating the speech of the other person, and the principle of attention (Labov) says that style depends on how much attention is paid to speech. 'Style-shifting' is the general name of the phenomenon and not a principle with this property.
