 Since the post formats UI is adding/changing the current post format to
 the tinyMCE iframe body class, we might as well include the post format
 styling in the editor. This has several advantages, including additional
 visual distinction between post formats for Twenty Thirteen users. It also
 makes it clearer what sort of content is expected in the editor, because
 you can compare directly to where it appears on the site. For example, the
 editor expects the quote itself, with or without blockquote tags. By
 making the editor display just like the output, it becomes obvious that
 the quote itself is expected here, and that quotation marks are provided.

 The average first-time user won’t necessarily know that the different post
 formats are treated with an array of bold colors in Twenty Thirteen; they
 may not try publishing or previewing the different post formats, but
 instead just play with the PF admin UI. By reflecting the theme styling in
 the editor, they immediately know that the different formats feature
 different colors (and other minor layout changes), and are therefore more
 likely to start publishing with the different formats right away.

 And, of course, by doing this we’re showing the thousands of default-
 theme-dissectors how easy it is to do separate styling per-format and
 encouraging them to as well. For me, it really completes the post formats
 UI. After all, the point of editor-style.css is to make editing a visually
 similar experience to the end result.
