In-body style element returns nonzero dimensions

Description
In HTML5, it is now valid to have style tags outside the head tag. jQuery returns nonzero dimensions (height(), width(), innerHeight(), etc.) for a style element inside of the HTML body tag. In the head tag, the correct (zero) dimensions are returned. JavaScript's clientHeight and clientWidth properties are zero, as expected. Only by setting the style tag's style attribute to "height: 0; width: 0" (or doing so in a stylesheet) will jQuery return zero for the dimension functions.
I have seen this in all jQuery versions available at jsfiddle, using Chrome and Firefox, both on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.10.

This also occurs with script elements.

See the discussion in https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/1445, there's a docs ticket.
This is valid. We're using swap here to ensure elements are not hidden when retrieving dimensions, but we can skip it for style elements.
