  Maybe you're tired. But 'within it' means you need to find the boundaries.
But the "</style>" sequence of character is in it. Now how would you know
that it's not the end of the <style> if you don't parse it. Precisely the
HTML spec requires to not use a specific parser for all languages possibly
embbeddable in style and instead tell to stop the parsing at the first
"</" occurence.
  The document is broken beyon repair... sorry...
