Both. Markup quote from the spec:

<div class="example"><P style="display:none">Example(s):</P>
<pre>
em { color: red }              /* predefined color name */
em { color: rgb(255,0,0) }     /* RGB range 0-255   */
</pre>
</div>

This shows the folly of mixing external styling and style attributes BTW: the usability of the document is reduced when the external stylesheets are missing. I assume this can be rectified (apart from making sure the correct 'default.css' is available, by replacing the style attribute with a class attribute and an addition to the external stylesheet. Lacking the intended 'default.css', I assume the intention was to rely on the color change and the word 'example' in the text near the example, and only show the word 'Example(s):' as in the quoted markup in case the color coding is missing.

BTW, it is stated here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-CSS21-20050613/about.html#q15
.. that notes and examples are "marked within the source HTML".
