I see what you mean.  However, I still don't think <style scoped>  
should apply to any prior content.  Ideally scoped would be defined  
in such a way that no re-resolution has to occur as you do a forward  
parse of the document.  What about the intersection of the two  
approaches?  Limiting the scope only to following siblings of <style>  
(and their descendants)?
