The template would be broken. Imagine a browser trying to interpret that
style tag (before template rendering). Or a piece of javascript like that.

The goal is round-trip-ability for templates; designers can pick up the
template again, tweak it in their WYSIWYG editors, and the whole thing would
continue to work, or at least as much as possible.
