When I use the TYPE attribute with the style element
as such:

  <STYLE TYPE="text/css">

I get the following error from the web techs validator:

Errors

sgmls: SGML error at -, line 4 at "T":
       Possible attributes treated as data because none were
defined

Now, the TYPE attribute is described in the technical 
report dealing with styles at:

http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/WD-css1

When I looked at the DTD for wilbur, I notice no
list of attributes for <style>.  It would be nice
if TYPE was in there. I suppose you could also remove 
it from the style draft for consistency, but I imagine 
it was there for a reason.

Something like this, maybe?

<!ATTLIST STYLE
  type        CDATA   #IMPLIED  -- type of stylesheet used  --
        >
