    Yes, it is required. It may work without it but it is required.

    It is required in HTML4.01 Strict and XHTML1.0 Strict doctypes,
    but I was surprised to see that it's NOT required for HTML5. So, depends on your doctype.

    I guess they figure no other types are used. However, I have seen somewhere a Javascript type attribute... I'm not sure why.
    <style type="text/javascript">
    some stuff...
    </style>

    It might not even have been valid.
