The restriction to <head> is an authoring requirement. HTML's UA
requirements define processing of <style> no matter where it is found.
To answer your questions, for the HTML <style> element:
1) All style elements are global.
2) Stylesheets from such elements come in document order in the
cascade.
3) The CSS cascade handles everything else.
SVG could in fact adopt these rules, as well as the "scoped" attribute
for scoping if desired...
