hm... some basic parsing would be easy. i used it in docmint as a
function that you can switch on or off that parses some style stuff
inside tags. it goes like this (as you can see, there could be more
in the regex array):

function HTMLAreaStripSpecialFormatting($return)
{
$htmlarea_killarray = array(
"/(style|face|class|size)=(\'|\"|)(.|\n)*?(\'|\"|>)/i",
);
foreach ($htmlarea_killarray as $htmlarea_kill) {
$return = preg_replace($htmlarea_kill, "", $return);
}
return $return;
}t
