Stylin' in CSS

Wanted to know if there was anyway I could implement anything like this:

<blockquote style="margin-left: 2em; text-indent: -2em">Text that I want to display with groovy hanging indent<br />
As if it were a poem perhaps<br />
Or something like that.</blockquote>
Currently all I get is a message saying I can't use the style attribute with the blockquote tag (or the span tag either, which rather defeats the purpose of allowing a span tag at all!). Any responses?

OK, I can see why that's necessary. Sometimes I live in an idealistic world that means I don't consider what the *ssholes might do!

Obviously I know nothing about how you handle the parsing of the XHTML that your members enter in their posts, but surely it's possible to spot a URL in a style attribute or block and then just remove the offending attribute? Just a thought. Thanks for responding so fast in any case.
