If XSL can't deal with the style attribute, then maybe the XSL WG should put some serious thought into how better to handle it. As much as I like atomization, being able to put style information into a single attribute for handling by a CSS interpreter - rather than cluttering my documents and likely my DTDs with an incredible profusion of normally unused style attributes - is convenient and usually downright sensible. You're demanding that everything (CSS, SVG, etc.) come over to XSL, without much talk of accomodating the older (and useful) ways. It may be revolutionary, but it's also (I think) counterproductive and not a good way to make friends.
