  <p>I am part of a team that has developed a CMS system. </p>
  
  <p>We would like to be able to insert <code>&lt;style&gt;</code> tags within the <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> of an HTML page in a way that validates to W3C standards, as validation is a requirement of our SEO consultant.</p>
  
  <p>The style tag functions perfectly well within the body tag across all browsers, yet it refuses to validate.</p>
