 <h2 class="no-num no-toc" id="abstract">Abstract</h2>
 <p>Markup languages such as HTML and SVG provide a "style" attribute on most
 elements, to hold a fragment of a style sheet that applies to those elements.
 One of the possible style sheet languages is CSS. This draft describes the
 syntax of the CSS fragment that can be used in the "style" attribute.
 <h2 class="no-num no-toc" id="status">Status of this document</h2>
 <!--status-->
 <h2 class="no-num no-toc" id="contents">Table of contents</h2>
 <!--toc-->
 <h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>
 <p>Several XML-based document formats have a "style" attribute to permit the
 author to directly apply style information to specific elements in documents.
 If a document format defines a "style" attribute and the attribute accepts CSS
 as its value, then this specification describes the attribute's syntax and
 interpretation.
 <div class="example">
   <p>The following example shows the use of the <code>style</code> attribute
   in HTML:</p>
   <pre>&lt;p style="<em>color: #090; line-height: 1.2</em>"&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;</pre>
 </div>
 <h2 id="syntax">Syntax</h2>
 <p>The syntax of the style attribute syntax is exactly the same as the
 contents of a CSS
 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#rule-sets">declaration block</a>.
 A close brace (<code>}</code>) in the style attribute value does not
 terminate the style data; it is merely an invalid token.
 <p>The same rules for forward-compatible parsing apply to the inline style
 sheet as to a normal style sheet. See <a href="/TR/CSS21/syndata.html">chapter
 of the CSS2.1 specification</a>. [[!CSS21]]
 <h2 id="grammar">Grammar</h2>
 <p>The syntax of the CSS fragment that is allowed in the HTML "style"
 attribute can be formally specified as follows:
 <pre>
 inline-stylesheet
   : S* declaration-list
   ;
 declaration-list
   : declaration [ ';' S* declaration ]*
   ;
 </pre>
 <p>Please refer to the grammar in <a href="/TR/CSS21/grammar.html">appendix D
 of the CSS2.1 specification</a> [[!CSS21]] for the definition of the symbols
 not defined here.
 <h2 id="cascading">Cascading</h2>
 <p>The declarations in a style attribute apply to the element to which
 the attribute belongs. CSS2.1 <a href="/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#specificity">defines</a>
 how style sheets and "style" attributes are cascaded together. [[!CSS21]]
 <h2 id="interpret">Interpretation</h2>
 <p>Aside from the differences in cascading, the declarations in a style
 attribute must be interpreted exactly as if they were given in a style
 rule that selected the associated element in a CSS style sheet associated
 with the document.
 <h2 id="conformance">Conformance</h2>
 <p>The conformance requirements are expressed with a combination of
   descriptive assertions and RFC 2119 terminology. The key words "MUST",
   "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",
   "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in the normative parts of this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
   However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase
   letters in this specification. All of the text of this specification is
   normative except sections explicitly marked as non-normative, examples,
   and notes. [[!RFC2119]]</p>
 <p>Examples in this specification are introduced with the words "for example"
   or are set apart from the normative text with <code>class="example"</code>,
   like this:
 <div class="example">
   <p>This is an example of an informative example.</p>
 </div>
 <p>Informative notes begin with the word "Note" and are set apart from the
   normative text with <code>class="note"</code>, like this:
 <p class="note">Note, this is an informative note.</p>
