The only use-case for the style attribute I can think of (and am using today sometimes) is in CSS test suites. But it's perfectly legal and logical to use ids or classes, because the styled part gains special semantics: it's a test-case or example. It's mostly even more readable with separated CSS. > And once again, it's not possibvle to copy/paste the element > (and the element itself) preserving its intrinsic style. That would be an argument to disallow the style *element* and linked external stylesheets. Christoph Päper
