This is trivial to do by manipulating css for the vast majority of books... Calibre does have a variety of ways to fix common things along these lines that are screwed up as well during conversion.

The reason no-one does it is because epub uses CSS 2.1, which requires the whole xml tree to be in memory. Mobi predates that with a much simpler format based on html 3.2. This is a big part of why a lot more formatting control is possible via epub. You can read this thread for a much more detailed discussion:
