Were are often compelled to accumulate fragments of existing (X)HTML documents into a single output document. If the formatting of these fragments is determined by a <style> element, it becomes difficult to integrate the styles into a single <style> element in the header of the output document.

A solution to this problem would be the scoped attribute of the HTML5 <style> element.

From its definition (http://www.w3schools.com/html5/att_style_scoped.asp):


Could you please consider to add the scoped attribute to your roadmap

Makes sense. Do any browsers support this yet?

Sorry, no browser support at all !

But if this has to be done in a browser you could certainly place the content into an <iframe>, I guess. You can't do that in a document (especially if the content spans several pages), so this feature makes sense there!

One easy way to do this while you wait would be to set a unique ID on the root element of the XHTML fragment being included, then hook the stylesheet rules to said id.
