  A current W3C's CSS WG Working Draft extends the contents of the STYLE
  attribute to style rules. So you'll probably be wrong in a very close
  future.

No, the problem is that editor produces stuff that has <br> all over the
place, so that it works well with old mail clients. This stuff will have lots
of first lines/first-letters (I think - should check the spec) that the
author probably doesn't mean to select. Although maybe it will clue them up
as to why not to write stuf like this.
