but it strikes me as odd that I keep hearing arguments about
constructing HTML documents as if all content and presentation
decisions come from a single author who has control over the

worked hard converting that standard corporate stylesheet for
print pieces into something that would actually work on the web
-- when someone who knew HTML used an inline style to come up
with their own formatting for some page content, I don't see
that as a reason to move @style to the <font> wasteland.
