Why does the asp.net 4 menu control add CSS CDATA to the HTML on page rendering?

I'm running my company site through http://analyze.websiteoptimization.com trying to speed it up, and drop unwanted weight. I was looking through my HTML source code of a rendered page, and noticed that the ASP.net Menu control has added CSS stylesheet CDATA.

I've added .elfabMenu img.icon { border-style:none;vertical-align:middle; } to the stylesheet to see if its adding CSS thats not defined, although it still hangs around.

Whats the reason for having it there, and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks, Rocky
