So is there a way for client-side scripters to find out the actual (pixel)
width of an element? Or the actual font used?
Maybe "getComputedStyle" isn't the way to do it, and maybe the DOM shouldn't
be concerned with display issues, but I can see a usefulness for that kind
of information, and the way to get to useful information should be
standardized.

P.S. Bjoern: That user agent style sheet you refer to would change when the
user resized the window? Just making sure that's what you mean.

Yes, but assume a user agent style sheet with
:root { width: 400px }
>So it does depend on the rendering...
Nope, just on the cascade :-)
