When using CSSStyleDeclaration.getPropertyValue() method you are returned the value as it is declared as a string. This is a very powerful method (in conjunction with getComputedStyle) but I feel it needs expanded. Has the W3C been looking into a way of requesting the style in specified units for those styles that take units. I will give an example. Lets say the style for the height of an element is 1.3em, but I want it in pixels or points. I would like to see a method of retrieving the style in different units than those in the declaration. Any ideas and/or comments on this? Has this been discussed before? Any chance that this may be included in the recomendation in the future?
