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.
