This could lead to situations where different user agents had compliant
behavior, unfortunately, but this is one case where I can't see how to
avoid it without requiring suboptimal behavior.
You have the same scenario for inline <style> elements that are either in
alternate state or are of a medium that currently does not apply to the
document. The user agent is not required to parse those CSS blocks
directly, I believe.
