I'd call that a feature, rather than a problem. By removing the style 
information you are closer to the spirit of the DOCTYPES. Typical automatic 
presentational -> CSS conversions aren't much of an improvement over well 
written presentational HTML in the first place. I've worked on several 
projects in the past where simple automatic removal of the style 
information is something I look for.

Please do; I can see it would be very useful
