Originally this used to be in DOM Level 2 Style as "ElementCSSInlineStyle" but since it is a content attribute it does make somewhat more sense to be in the HTML specification I think, though the line is blurry. Let me be constructive and say that it royally sucks we have three markup language specifications with a style attribute, a CSS specification defining the concept of the style attribute which the markup languages are supposed to use (though it just went to Last Call and the markup languages existed like forever), the markup languages defining part of the DOM interface because the CSS specification does not touch that, and the CSSOM defining some more of the DOM interface. Yay for modularity I guess.
