Comment:
The idea of limited-scope style elements is useful, but it causes compability
issues. Current browsers ignore the scope attribute and apply the style to the
entire document. It is probably better (safe) to ignore a style sheet that is
meant to be scoped than to apply it globally. I propose that the scoped
attribute be removed and a new MIME type, say text/css-scoped, be defined. A
scoped style element would then be written as a normal style element, just
with a type attribute mentioning the new MIME type.

    <thetext>Agreed with Julian.  Browsers should support @scoped, and in the meantime people shouldn&apos;t be using @scoped.</thetext>

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: Until browsers support scoped=&quot;&quot;, there&apos;s a simple workaround to fix this: put an id=&quot;&quot; on the &lt;style&gt; element&apos;s parent, and put #id in the front of every selector.</thetext>
