Description Leif Halvard Silli 2012-03-03 01:02:29 UTC 
Why does the validator not OK the following? Example:

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title></title></head><body><style scoped>style+*{background:red}</style><p>abc

The error message explains that <style scoped> can be used:

]] where flow content is expected, but before any other flow content other than inter-element whitespace, and not as the child of an element whose content model is transparent.
Content model for element body:
Flow content.[[

But as the error message itself says: <body>'s content model is *not* transparent. Hence, the spec does permit <style scope> to be the direct child of <body>. 

Currently, the validator would OK the above example, if I had done <div><style scope>/*foo*/</style></div>

The validator doesn't fully support <style scoped> yet. I think there are bugzilla.validator.nu bugs open for it already. It's not been a big priority given that until very recently there was zero browser support for it.

Fixed. You can test at http://validator.w3.org/nu/
