How are you able to change those attributes in current RTE? I cannot
find any way to do that with current RTEhtmlarea buttons or context
menus. And if RTE doesn't allow me to change that, it would make no
sense to allow that information to be stored into DB (as it cannot be
changed anymore with the UI).
