/**
* This interface represents a document with a CSS view.
* <p> The <code>getOverrideStyle</code> method provides a mechanism through
* which a DOM author could effect immediate change to the style of an
* element without modifying the explicitly linked style sheets of a
* document or the inline style of elements in the style sheets. This style
* sheet comes after the author style sheet in the cascade algorithm and is
* called override style sheet. The override style sheet takes precedence
* over author style sheets. An "!important" declaration still takes
* precedence over a normal declaration. Override, author, and user style
* sheets all may contain "!important" declarations. User "!important" rules
* take precedence over both override and author "!important" rules, and
* override "!important" rules take precedence over author "!important"
* rules.
* <p> The expectation is that an instance of the <code>DocumentCSS</code>
* interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an
* instance of the <code>Document</code> interface.
* <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Style-20001113'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Style Specification</a>.
