Getting used values is, in many cases, pretty painful. Gecko, for example, doesn't really store it in many cases; there would need to be special code to recompute it. Even the bits we already have to do for getComputedStyle are bad enough. :( Actual values might be even worse (e.g. the actual color value is not even under the UA's control; it depends on your monitor hardware, if I understand the definition of "actual value"). Computed and specified are totally worth doing. I can't find any documentation of what "resolved" values are. Initial and default values ought to be reasonably easy to do, I'd think; they're really a special case of specified values with not all rules taken into account at heart. -Boris
