It is arguably already allowed. The syntax of CSS rules in @style has
never been properly defined, so we must assume that any CSS syntax from
any CSS spec is OK. There was an attempt to define a standard syntax
for CSS in @style:

but that seems to have been largely abandoned. Current browsers only
seem to support syntax #1 of the 4 suggested there.
