RE: What is getComputedStyle supposed to be for?

That's why I said "not _necessarily_ interesting".  I didn't say they were totally uninteresting for any reason.  In editing scenarios, there are many questions that might be interesting to answer - for example, what stylesheet and what rules are affecting a particular element, or causing a particular property value to be applied.  If you answer all these questions, though, you end up with a fantastically complex stylesheet OM, not a v1 OM.

 Sorry Chris but I disagree with that. Specified values are extremely 
 interesting in editing tools 
 and I really miss DOM Style support for specified values.
