  18:  *  The <code>CSSStyleDeclaration</code> interface represents a single CSS 
  19:  * declaration block. This interface may be used to determine the style 
  20:  * properties currently set in a block or to set style properties explicitly 
  21:  * within the block. 
  22:  * <p> While an implementation may not recognize all CSS properties within a 
  23:  * CSS declaration block, it is expected to provide access to all specified 
  24:  * properties in the style sheet through the <code>CSSStyleDeclaration</code>
  25:  *  interface. Furthermore, implementations that support a specific level of 
  26:  * CSS should correctly handle CSS shorthand properties for that level. For 
  27:  * a further discussion of shorthand properties, see the 
  28:  * <code>CSS2Properties</code> interface. 
  29:  * <p> This interface is also used to provide a read-only access to the 
  30:  * computed values of an element. See also the <code>ViewCSS</code> 
  31:  * interface.  The CSS Object Model doesn't provide an access to the 
  32:  * specified or actual values of the CSS cascade. 
  33:  * <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>.
