Hello
I would like to revive this draft
<https://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css-style-attr-20020515> from 2002, which
adds the following syntax to style="...".
<a href="http://www.w3.org/"
style="{color: #900}
:link {background: #ff0}
:visited {background: #fff}
:hover {outline: thin red solid}
:active {background: #00f}">...</a>
This makes a lot of sense today due to a growing percentage of web
developers writing styles inline rather than in separate stylesheets.

- https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngStyle
- https://github.com/smyte/jsxstyle
- https://github.com/threepointone/glamor/blob/master/docs/createElement.md
However, as you can see in some of those links there has been a lot of
effort around making :states, ::pseudo elements, and @media queries work
with inline styles.
Most of these would be solved by that proposal (minus media queries - which
are less of a concern).
Although I'd like to suggest the following changes:
<a href="http://www.w3.org/"
style="color: #900;
:link {background: #ff0};
:visited {background: #fff};
:hover {outline: thin red solid};
:active {background: #00f};">...</a>
- No curly { } braces around the existing inline styles - this prevents the
browsers from rendering them today
- A semicolon after { } blocks so that style="color: red; :hover {...};
text-decoration: underline; works in browsers today.
Peace
