Well, now there I definitely agree with you!

But, I think, in the mean time, if you want the control of CSS (inline
styles), you have to put up with the downsides. I will say to me
repeating on <li>s is the same as having to repeat on <td>s for nested
tables, which, if I remember right, you had to do with <font> tags
too. And for me, the ups out-weight the downs.
