XHTML2's "1.1.3. XHTML 2 and Presentation" section says:

# XHTML 2 takes HTML back to these roots, by removing all presentation 
# elements, and subordinating all presentation to style sheets.

This, while technically true, does not seem completely consistent with the 
inclusion of the style="" attribute (in section 27 XHTML Style Attribute 
Module). I feel that the intent of removing all presentational aspects 
from the language is to be applauded and would like to ask for the purely 
presentational style="" attribute to be removed.

If it is to remain in XHTML2, however, a clear indication of its purpose 
should be given, so as to explain the conflict between its presence and 
the sentiment of section 1.1.3.
