Actually, no. If you factor in the need for separation of presentation from content, you have the best argument against preserving presentation in copy & paste operations, which, IMHO, should never be done by editors under any circumstances; or at least not by default, as is unfortunately common these days. The structure and semantics should be preserved, but the presentation should match that of the destination document, not the source document. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
