About http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/mod-styleSheet.html#sec_29.1.

XHTML 2.0 has defined Embedding attributes module, to make it possible to use 
src/srctype. Though the style element is using type instead of srctype, which 
is at least confusing, and likely to create mistakes for people using it. Being 
consistent for the name of attributes would improve the usability of the 
language.

Example given in the specification

        <style src="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Why not?

        <style src="style.css" srctype="text/css" media="screen" />

plus the fact that the style element accepts the Embedding attribute. It means 
it is possible to write things like:

        <style src="style" 
                srctype="text/css" 
                type="application/xml"
                media="screen" />
