I would hate to see it go. One thing I like about some html, is that you can
make it standalone. Being able to define style and content in a single
document, and still seperating the two, is great. Consider, that the style
is still seperate from the content, though not file wise, it is DOM wise.
Need we really make the actual disction, of different files? I dont see the
need, and I certainly dont think the style tags, included cleanly in the
head tag "pollutes" anything at all.
