I don't understand the roundtrip issue. It seems to me that CSS can
hold all numbers you throw at it. By using the string-less CSS OM
interfaces that are proposed, most string conversions can be avoided.
And, even when you want to export to a textual style sheet you can use
the "toFixed" method which doesn't switch into e-notation for small
numbers (only for numbers larger than 10^21 which hardly seems like
an issue).
