Firstly thank you so so much for all this constructive discussion.
I worry that I'm convoluting this discussion with my wish to deprecate the style attribute. It's a thing I would like to see but it is not the most important discussion to have on the short term in which the goal is to style things better on mobile.
As a result since this does not seem to be helping I have decided to create a new but related request for comment: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Requests_for_comment/Allow_styli...
I realise there are various templates that will not work or be helped by this move (for instance the Colorbox template Brad asks about), but I think it is too early to worry about these templates. I would like to see the style attribute completely unused but ultimately this decision in future would be one made by the community/security needs. I see this as step 1 in a long but much needed journey.
I also realise there are security risks. I am aware this opens up the potential for vandalism but I'd hope that these would not happen often due to edits being restricted to admins.
Thanks again for your constructive comments so far and I really hope we can get some consensus and push this work forward. Please view the talk page to see the more actionable next steps. I look forward to us moving this forward...!

Hi,

That page doesn't exist.

That's an important point you forgot to mention in your original proposal. I assumed you wanted this to be editable by everyone :)
Personally I'd rather have it be safe, and usable by everyone. (Also I'd like a pony if its not too much trouble)
