[mb-style] classical: tempo indication peculiarity

It seems rather unlikely that this is a case of ArtistIntent (certainly 
not Brahms, and quite unlikely to be the performers').  So there is no 
reason to preserve "What is on the cover" - the only reasons that 
justify that are artist intent and (sometimes) preventing loss of 
information.  Classical Style Guide should rule in this case.
