Styling isn't really information. You could have distinquished it as such, but that might be a wrong observation. Moving styling inside the document takes away the advantages of user specific style sheet or style sheet switching where the author could provide multiple styles for the same page and leave the choice to the user. Embedding everything in the document takes away all those advantages and clutters the semantics, just like <font> did. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
