This would be a good thing. The problem right now is that <style> is
restricted to the <head> of a document. emacs-w3 will gracefully switch
styles wherever it encounters the <style></style> container, but I don't
know about arena. If we recommend it as a 'Good Thing' to do, we should
definitely change the DTD to reflect this.
