An example: An inline stylesheet with a child selector in it is a
reasonable thing to have in a document and a non-problem in text/html
and a non-problem in application/xhtml+xml. However, it's a problem in
the polyglot case. It doesn't make sense to create a problem where
there is none in either text/html or application/xhtml+xml. It makes
even less sense to spend time pondering and developing solutions for
problems so created.
