Hi Steffen,

I was just about to reanimate font-size and color for a university 
project. I meant to put them together with the frame, space before, and 
space after under Design.
Of course I would change all those values:
- color would be labeled colorscheme and have three or for options, the 
scheme itself would be set by a css class.
- font size would contain 'default, smaller, bigger', how small/big 
would be defined by a css class.
- frame could then be used for borders

This way, my authors can combine certain properties. I do not like them 
to do these styles in RTE, because if you want to change the layout or 
you have an alternative accessibility layout (1 column) layout, you will 
have a lot of hassle, if you have to go through the bodytext of all your 
CEs.

What really could go away in my eyes are:

- Align
- Fontface
- Bold
- Italic
- Underline
- Uppercase

My five cents, Uschi
