CSSStyleDeclaration.cssText can throw an exception on setting. In
particular:
SYNTAX_ERR: Raised if the specified CSS string value has a syntax error
and is unparsable.
What does this really mean? All CSS is parsable. If one encounters CSS
that does not make sense, the assumption is that it's a future version
of the standard and its quietly dropped.
For example, which, if any of the below statements should throw
exceptions:
cssText = "/*";
cssText = "abcde";
cssText = "font-color: black; font-size: bold; font-family: monospace";
This seems to need some clarification.
I've cced this to www-style so both groups are aware of it.
