Well, I am simply a member of the 'web community' and am not a member
of any WG, nor am I even remotely associated with MS. So here is my
comment: Inline styles are required for any boilerplate text which
needs to be self contained; SSIs are a prime example.
How can you preserve an SSI's style without a style attribute?

I am not a member of HWG. I believe it was Groucho Marx who said he
would never join any club that would have him as a member. <g>
