Let's not confuse attributes and properties.... I suspect the "style"
_property_ was not present in DOM1 because DOM1 does not have any way to
manipulate style data (this is just a guess, though). The "style"
_attribute_, on the other hand, can be manipulated with the DOM1
setAttribute() and getAttribute() methods.
