Actually it was "objects that are typeof 'object' but which are 
callable" are a bad thing, since it is not possible to implement objects 
like this without magic.  But this computedStyle proposal wouldn't need 
to have typeof being 'object', so it wouldn't be as bad.  I would still 
contend though that it is an uncommon API style and could be confusing.
