You may be right. It could also be a simple limitation of how the HTML parser links up to the CSS parser. Still, it would be good to know why certain tags are redefinable by CSS and some are not, so at least I could figure out if there's a fix by extending some class or other.

On another note, I wish the HTML parser was inherited from the XML class so it could be extended. Built into the player as it is means rebuilding the parser from the ground up just to add functionality, and who's got time for that?

Hello Joseph,

I think "default tags" are closely connected to TextFormat properties.
So, the content of <b> tag will always have TextFormat.bold = true
and  content of <i> tag  will always have TextFormat.italic = true
They're just trying to make TextFormat and tags interchangeable where
possible. Remember this terrible <TEXTFORMAT> tag? ;-)

The same is with some other tags you've mentioned: you can't make <li>
to appear w/o bullet or <a> to be not clickable.

Also, I'm curious of the way you're using the <body> tag in flash text
fields...
