Note that we wouldn't have to "break" style fully. We could still give  
it the same treatment as <script>. That means that inline scripts with  
<![CDATA[]]> would work fine. As would any stylesheets with no  
entities. One thing that would break is stylesheets without <! 
[CDATA[]]> that use the child selector ( > ).
