Well, style attribute ... that's another BIG can of worms. There's no way to specify the language of contents of the style attribute in an XHTML fragment unless you also include the XHTML's head section and specify the stylesheet language via a meta element. We had looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong discussion about style attribute and the HTML WG had argued that the style attribute should be in its own namespace, but we had no consensus and many vocabularies reinvented the style attribute in their own namespaces. If the TAG wants to be involved in this long-standing issue, that's most welcome ... Regards, -- Masayasu Ishikawa / mimasa@w3.org W3C - World Wide Web Consortium
