Please don't see the following as a reply from the CSS WG. It's not.
It's my own personal reply, my own opinion only.
I think scoped stylesheet should be allowed everywhere:
1. inside stylesheets, so you can very easily create a standalone
scoped sheet from an arbitrary one
2. in the |style| attribute, and the syntax you detailed above,
proposed LONG AGO to the CSS WG, seems to me perfect, but see
item 3.b below.
3. in the |style| element, and I see two different and complementary
ways of doing it:
a. the style attribute inside the head element could accept a new
|scope| attribute holding a selector. The sheet would apply
to elements descendant of elements matching that selector.
In that case, the specificity of the rules contained in the
sheet would be increased by the specificity of the |scope|
selector plus the specificity of a childhood combinator
b. the style element could be allowed, in HTML 5, inside ALL
HTML elements, without a |scope| attribute. The styles would
then apply to all descendants of the parent of the style
element, the specificity of the selectors in the sheet being
increased by the specificity of an ID selector.
