well some good came out of this then. As for the style="...." that is in fact 
equivalent in some ways to class in html. The standard parser doesn't implement 
findSpanStyle, but derived parsers can choose to do so. The findSpanStyle method 
should return a dictionary like object when given the style attribute. Currently 
the only implementation is in rml2pdf. The returned object can specify all or 
none of fontName fontSize textColor backColor etc etc.
