I'm still pondering your proposal to move forward, but wanted to add another data point. Eric van der Vlist raised some issues [1] with the recent working draft of 'Syntax of CSS rules in HTML's "STYLE" attribute' [2]. HTML, XHTML, SVG, and MathML all use this 'style' attribute. It's not entirely clear what the namespace status of that attribute is (since the default NS doesn't apply to attributes), but it's reasonably clear that it hasn't been defined as a 'global attribute' as described in (non-normative) A.2 of Namespaces in XML. [3] More fuel for the fire, I suppose.
