Thanks Michael! :-)
Here's a slightly improved version where an XML parser which evaluates
the text content of the css element will also get valid CSS (the
previous version had unmatched CSS comment markers):
<!--/*--><css><![CDATA[/**/
/* Plain old css goes in here, & and < are all good */
h1 {
color: green;
}
/*]]>*/<!--/*--></css><!--*/-->
