Good point. Effectively, they *are* the same, which is why your style
declaration belongs in the style sheet and not in a style attribute. Using
styles in this manner indicates that the writer didn't really get the idea
behind the separation of structure and presentation. So, in effect, you are
comparing bad HTML to bad use of CSS. It's not surprising that they have the
same problems.
