Why use multiple <STYLE> tags when one in the document HEAD will do?
One <STYLE> tag in the HEAD ensures that you will be able to display
the document as it arrives without problems.

Also note that you need to specify the style notation in the <STYLE>
element to decouple this from HTML. Doing otherwise will give us plenty
of problems further down the road.
