Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: 

While having embedded styles is indeed not ideal from a style/content
separation point of view, it's nonetheless something a lot of people want and
can actually use without compromising the actual goal of device independence,
so in this case I think this is the right balance to strike.

Re comment 3: It actually degrades really quite well. Just make sure to prefix
your selectors with a unique ID.
