The styling a publisher chooses has a purpose. Personally, when i am reading a text which has an inset quote, i would like it to appear as...an inset quote. The same goes for font attributes... I don't want that information stripped out of the text. To suggest that this makes for a better reading experience makes little sense to me... But you don't care about such things, that's great.
