Both XHTML 1.0 Transitional and HTML 4.01 Transitional have <font>. Neither XHTML 1.0 Strict nor HTML 4.01 Strict has <font>.
Then my point is moot as long as XHTML inline content may be XHTML 1.0 Transitional. A second argument that inline XHTML may be XHTML 1.0 Transitional is that it satisfies the need for well-formed XML.
So there would have to be a provision to get CSS into the document head, which adds complexity instead of subtracting it.
Why would there have to be a method for shipping CSS for titles and similar "text constructs"?
Because having control over presentation is the main reason to format content as HTML.
