This is another good reason why the 'E' of BECSS should be dropped. Do
"behaviors" in CSS syntax if you will, but as a *separate* entity. Script does
not belong inside CSS, no matter how convenient in might be to script kiddies or
mass-market UA vendors wishing to avoid MIME issues.
Make it an extension to <script>, not to <style>.
IMO, of course.
