MDN URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/style

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

I see a huge difference between the specification and the real world.

According to the specs <style> should be in the <head>:

The <style> element must be included inside the <head> of the document.

But just look at amazon.com. There are 11 style tags in the body.

If you ask me: I think the spec should allow the style tag everywhere.

Hi @guettli this isn't the place to raise an issue against the spec. MDN documents the specifications rather than informs them.

My understanding with <style> elements outside of the head is that browser do typically support them but they can have negative impacts on performance creating a FOUC (flash of unstyled content) etc. A quick search brought back this old issue here: whatwg/html#1605

So I'm not sure there is anything to change on MDN right now.
