I have a question about style in body in HTML 5.2

[mulder21c]

Hi, I have a question about the style element, so I post this.

I saw the specification written "In the body, where flow content is expected.", but I do not know exactly what it means.

I want to know if "In the body" means "as children of body" or "wherever flow content is expected".

Until now, it seems that "wherever flow content is expected" is described as just "where flow content is expected" in the specification, and I wonder if there is a specific reason for specifying "In the body".

And, I tested the validator and it does not seem to reflect this specification yet, Is it right?

Yes, and while you can raise an issue at the validator’s github page, it probably won’t be fixed until WHATWG’s version of the HTML spec allows <style> in body, too.

There’s already an open validator issue for this at validator/validator#489 which @stevefaulkner raised. Implementing support for this in the validator involves adding a new conditional switch. Subscribe to that issue if you want to follow the status — and as far as the validator part of this issue here, please take any further discussion of it over to that validator issue.

@sideshowbarker thanks. Closing the issue here.
