Right: MetaCard probably abusing the "FONT" tag, but then, it's
implementation on browsers is a joke too and not worthy of emulating.
The design goal of MetaCard's HTML implementation is to make it
possible to export styled text and reimport it and get the same
thing. This is not possible with the "1"/"-1" stuff that browsers
supposedly support.

It is.

It doesn't do that here. Try "put field 1 into field 1" to clear all
of the tags.
