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

What's the reason for this requirement?  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.
