Style attribute in body is not allowed by HTML

  • Hi,

    I’ve noticed that this plugin appends its <style> element to the <body>.

    Even if this works in almost any browser I’ve trued, HTML5 standard does not allow <style> elements in <body>, so you will experience a validation error if you try to submit your page at https://validator.w3.org/nu/

    
Error: Element style not allowed as child of element body in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)

Contexts in which element style may be used:
- Where metadata content is expected.
- In a noscript element that is a child of a head element.

    The fix should be easy and should not break compatibility: it is enough to enqueue the style element to the head instead of the footer (plugin_frontend.php, line 46).
