because we have themes, and those who choose to use color often employ it wrongly
because perlmonks is about content, not color
because style can load images
because style can critically alter layout
because the only way to check the forementioned abuses is to filter css as strictly as we filter html, so most of the "cool and unusual" things you just won't be able to do anymore
because it will undoubtedly increase the load on editors
because we should keep things simple
because you can set style for yourself, and that should be enough
Yeah, I know you're suprised :)
