Please consider that a cms is a tool too allow people to add there own content. So the inline styling may in fact be added by the end user. Most wysiwyg editors allow you to define styles for the content, however I find a lot of people do not go to this little effort, rather opting for the inline styles (example, choosing font sizes, colors etc).
I am in the process of writing my own cms program (based on zend framework) that overcomes these problems. I am using xinha as the editor. As a programmer we can code a system as best as we can - but still can't control what the end user decides to do with it unless we are really restrictive - but that brings about unnecessary support questions regarding content insertion.
