The theoretical difference that it makes is that a user style sheet does not override such a hint unless it uses !important, but this is rather implicit. And there is no evident reason why presentational markup should be stronger against user style sheets than the default effects of normal HTML markup.

HTML is just trying to follow what CSS says.
