This corresponds to what
<http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#attr-style-type>
says, except that "text/style" should be flagged as an error, as it is 
not a valid MIME type.

A different fault in the validator is that the element passes if you 
specify e.g. type="text/plain". In that case, the value is a valid MIME 
type but it fails to satisfy the requirement ("must") of designating a 
styling language.
