The current approach to applying attributes is to apply them as attributes to a single, enclosing container. <p align="center" style="font-weight: bold;">CONTENT</p>, while not intrinsically superior to <p><center><strong>CONTENT</strong></center></p>, allows the styles to be applied en masse to a predefined class of container (as one example). When it comes to consistency, and the separation of presentation and content, it is actually a superior approach. People that never take any time out to think, because they're too busy reinventing the wheel, of course don't "get it".
