Because existing browsers would ignore the src attribute and treat this 
just as a style element with empty content.

If HTML were designed from scratch, it would probably look very 
different from what it is now.  But then it could be displayed in future 
browsers only.

Attribute names are part of HTML legacy, and changing them would make 
existing pages stop working.
