Then it doesn't matter what format the tests are submitted in, minimal or not.

Using <style> for styles that only affect one element in a small self-contained test case doesn't make sense to me. It means you have to look back and forth to find what styles apply to what. In fact, I saw one reftest (from Gecko source code) that confused me considerably, because it had two divs and the style wasn't inline, and the styles were in a different order in the <style> than the divs were in the document, so I initially thought the styles applied backwards. So I actively prefer inline style.
