Close enough. Still irritating though (I can't remember why JohnRob pulled that particular attribute/tag off the list of working tags).

(I can't remember why JohnRob pulled that particular attribute/tag off the list of working tags)

I asked him that. He said that it is possible for the style= attribute to force text outside the boundaries of a post. He said that he hoped to censor the specific subproperties that would allow such a thing, but was too busy at the moment. That was over a year ago I think.

BTW, I think the style= tag is allowed in a main-article posting but not in replies, and there are two reasons behind it: (1) main articles are more likely to contain pre-existing formatting that the restriction would mess up; (2) someone posting a main article would have no reason to bollux up his own thread.
