In the world of real web applications (as opposed to 'ivory tower' speculations) , we often want to pull XHTML fragments out of a database and string them together. Each of the individual fragments has been styled by a different user. The only way to carry the styling around with the fragment is to use the style attribute on each of the elements. So the style attribute is not just a convienience for Authors, it is essential for many applications. To see an example of what I mean have a look at the application under development at http://dev.itadevelopment.com/~boumphreyfr/sandbox/skelbe/testjs.php such an application is imposible without the style attribute.
