CSSOM says it must return null for embedded styles:

Fixed.

I've fixed the section in HTML5 to not override the CSSOM spec, but 
instead to just use the hooks defined in CSSOM (except for the "disabled 
flag", which seems to be an error -- it seems like that one should just 
be initialised by the stuff we define for alternative style sheets.)

This is defined by CSSOM, but I've tried to make HTML5 clearer.
