This is indeed not part of any specification, neither for HTML nor for CSS.
There is a draft that describes it[1] (not the same syntax, but it allows that
functionality), but the use cases are so rare, that nothing has happened with it
since and there is currently no sign that anything will.
If you want the style rule inside the document, you can use the MEDIA attribute
of the STYLE element, or put the @media inside the STYLE element. If that is not
enough, than there is a good chance that your architecture isn't optimal.
