Re: [css-hierarchies] HTML style attribute

Things are different this time because it seems to me that the CSS 
Hierarchies proposal [1] will somehow extend the "4.1.8 section" of CSS2.1 
to include sub-rulesets. The HTML4 specification made it clear that the only 
difference between "style" and the body of a selector was the lack of 
brackets. However, HTML5 refers to a WD which uses another definition of the 
style attribute [2] which is not compatbile with the changes introduced by 
CSS Hierarchies [1].

My proposals to update the [2] working draft are :
(1) to normatively require to use "ruleitem" instead of "declaration" for 
browsers conforming to [1].
(2) to redefine "declaration" directly in the [1] proposal, if it's 
possible.

Such a feature was proposed in 2000 in 'Syntax of CSS rules in HTML's
"style" attribute' [1], and was dropped in 2010 because nobody wanted to
implement it [2]. I doubt that this different syntax would be able to
convince implementers to take a different view this time around.
