But (as already pointed out), the validator reports errors if the inline styles are ill-formed CSS. For it to report errors, it must already be assuming that the inline styles are CSS; why, therefore, does it not make the same assumption (as, tacitly, it must be doing) when there are no errors and report "There are no errors in your inline styles" ? Note that the page first cited in this thread http://www.kiss-chance.de/ has no <META http-equiv="Content-Style-Type"> element.
