That's because those are defined in another specification. Like HTML5.

Done.

You mean whether this should re-run the algorithm that decides which style  
sheets to apply? It makes sense to me to have everything "live". It's not  
clear to me which specification should define this.

I suppose it would be nice if HTMLStyleElement.disabled was changed  
LinkStyle.sheet.disabled would change and vice versa. Which should solve  
this issue, I think. Any opinions on that?


(I'm willing to define it all in the CSSOM by the way, but (a) I'm not  
sure if it makes sense and (b) I'm unsure how to do it.)
