Hi Adam thanks for the advice.
I was trying to indicate which page the user was on by targeting the
relevant link on each page using css in an include. I should be OK to put
the css code in an external css file.
I scanned through a couple of CSS books but I couldn't see anything against
putting the <style> attribute in the body - should have looked at the w3c
specs more closely!

You can stop right there. The <style> tag is not allowed in the
document body, but only in the head. Although the DTD is hard to
read, you can start here:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#dtdentry_xhtml1-strict.dtd_head.misc>
You can see that the list of elements for the body later in this same
document does not include a style element.
Just out of curiosity, why would you want to include a style element
inline in this manner, when you can put it as an attribute in the
relevant tag:
<a id="reindex" href="reflect_index.asp" style="color: black;
background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; text-decoration:
none;">Reflect on your language history</a>
HTH,
