This is bad for all existing SGML parsers. This is cleaner, imho:
<BODY CLASS="body.text.attributes" VALUE= "font.family = ....">
Overiding priority should be VALUE, <STYLE> stuff in <HEAD>, linked
stylesheet document. (high->low).
I am aware of some stupid size limits in SGML, but these are not
fundamental problems and can be worked around easily.

I am not sure if it's a fundamental tenet (SGML gurus please). But
it sure sounds like one and makes sense to me...
