Indeed, setting styles unnecessarily seems to thwart some of the power
of CSS. Taken to the extreme if every element was fully decorated with
all relevant styles, then external style sheets would be rendered
useless. It contradicts the whole notion of cascading styles. It sure
sounds like a bug to me.
