Isn't that considered "embedded" style rather than "inline" (to which
Galactus was referring)?
For example, how would I specify that <FOO STYLE="..."> uses one
style sheet language but when I later use <FOO STYLE="..."> it's
using a different style sheet language? Right now, I don't
see how two style sheet languages for inline style are
possible. (Granted, the use of so much inline style is questionable,
but that doesn't make it wrong.)
Similarly, I don't see how one can specify for which medium the
inline style is intended, since the MEDIA attribute applies only to
LINK and STYLE elements.
