Yeah, that's fair enough.

Righ now I can't find any browsers that implement <style scoped>. Unless 
<link scoped> is preferred by vendors than <style scoped>, I'd rather get 
one implemented and proven to work before we add more, so I still haven't 
added <link scoped>. To make sure I don't forget about this, though, I've 
filed it as a bug and will mark it LATER.
