It was implemented that way many years ago (long before RunRev acquired 
the engine) as a workaround for other issues.  Style attributes should 
of course be independent of one another.

There's a Bugzilla request for this:
<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=66>

As you can tell by its number it's been there a long time.  Fortunately 
RunRev is aware of this and it's my understanding it's on their radar; I 
don't know to what degree it's being actively worked on right now. 
Hopefully someone from RunRev will chime in here with a status report on 
this.
