Indent is no longer working

I gave up on indentation long ago.

Pat, the missing formatting features issue was explained here by JVD:

I also posted there a link to some further tests I performed on the features that were gone.

Now, while editing the above, I had a look at the HTML code:

<p>I am sometimes using indentation (Indent) to make some part of my instructions stand out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">For instance I would like this paragraph to be indented.  I just add a little bit more text here for demonstration purposes; to make it a bit longer than just one line - you really don't have to read all of this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok, and now I am ending the indentation and take a screenshot, to show you have I intended this to look like...</p>

We can clearly see the style="padding-left: 30px;" that does the indentation.  But after posting it's gone:

<p>I am sometimes using indentation (Indent) to make some part of my instructions stand out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For instance I would like this paragraph to be indented.&#160; I just add a little bit more text here for demonstration purposes; to make it a bit longer than just one line - you really don't have to read all of this.</p>

Why are these formatting features taken away, one after another?

It deprieves us of the ability to make ourselves clear to users who sometimes are as illiterate as cows.
