Description xqfjehdxhg 2006-08-31 07:52:03 UTC 
This code incorrectly validates as perfect:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
 <head>
  <title>test</title>
  <style type="text/css"> 
   body { a:link {color:#889988; text-decoration:underline; }
   .testtable {width:950px;}
  </style> 
 </head>
 <body></body>
</html>

There is no end bracket for the body style. The only end bracket is for the alink.
This means the testtable style is ignored causing havoc with a page!

This is not a bug. The content of the style element will be checked (and properly marked as incorrect) by the CSS validator.
