Again, the whole purpose of XHTML (besides being an XML application) is
to further separate content and presentation information. Most XHTML
DTDs are a transitive medium towards this, with XHTML1.1/strict/basic as
the final targets. Just check out the DTDs. You cannot use all those
HTML4.0 display-oriented attributes. That is because CSS is supposed to
serve for this purpose.

If you do want to have some display control such as choosing fonts and
colors, you are required to use CSS.
