* The <code>CSSStyleDeclaration</code> interface represents a single CSS

* <p> While an implementation may not recognize all CSS properties within a
* CSS declaration block, it is expected to provide access to all specified
* properties in the style sheet through the <code>CSSStyleDeclaration</code>
* interface. Furthermore, implementations that support a specific level of
* CSS should correctly handle CSS shorthand properties for that level. For
* a further discussion of shorthand properties, see the
* <code>CSS2Properties</code> interface.
* <p> This interface is also used to provide a read-only access to the
* computed values of an element. See also the <code>ViewCSS</code>
* interface. The CSS Object Model doesn't provide an access to the
* specified or actual values of the CSS cascade.
