It appears that Firefox and IE appear to resolve styles in <style> blocks correctly when inserting HTML. We should try to figure out how to do the same with WebKit.

This last time this came up, I tried two similar approaches:
1) Detached Document with EmptyClients (this was considered a hack and abandoned)
2) Having the embedder supply a Page. I actually got this working at one point, but it had the same problem with asserts that approach #1 did (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62112#c34 illustrates some of the issues I hit last time).

#1 is probably out of the question, but #2 might still be worth considering.
