If we want a common Declaration interface, should it have 
getPropertyPriority on it?  Should it have a "cssText"?  Should it even 
talk about "property"?   Should it have a setProperty that takes a 
priority argument?

I'm OK with the answer being "yes" to all of those, for backwards compat 
reasons, but it seems like having to define the property priority stuff 
behavior for various consumers like font-face is a bit annoying.
