JSWolf recently mentioned something similar in Calibre's Editor:

Bug in the code editor showing bold/italic

Calibre makes the text in Code View bold/italic between the <b> + <i> (a very nice touch), but JSWolf wanted it expanded to recognize:

<p class="bold">
<span class="bold">

Kovid explained why parsing CSS like that would be a serious performance issue.
