Is it ok to add data- attribute to the style tag in head?

Is it legal to add data- attribute to the style tag in head?

I have found not much on the internet on using attributes with styles in head. I thought it is more for the body elements.

I am trying to be able to identify different style tags with data-style-id="randomid" for js/jquery easier usage.

Yes, data-* attributes are legal on all HTML elements. From the spec:

Every HTML element may have any number of custom data attributes specified, with any value.

As @Alohci notes, there are elements in HTML documents that aren’t HTML elements, though: SVG and MathML elements.
