this isn't complete as it's easy to show that

<a style="color: red" href=url>text</a>

does work as do inlines for font-weight etc. The problem is that the CSS
attributes are :link,  etc ie pseudo classes and there doesn't seem to
be any way to get at class values in inline styles.

I'm using named CSS classes, but the complexities of CSS are a bit of a
pain.
