The problem with the style= attribute, as opposed to the <style> element.  
Is that it encourages media specific style sheets. As the media for the  
style= attribute is automatically "all". It also does not allow for  
alternate style sheets. The <style> element in HTML5 handles both. Having  
said that, I don't really care strongly either way.

User agents will be required to support it.
