As Brian points out, 

	The naïve proposal forgets about, for example, prefixed *values* 
	(such as gradient <image>).

Not sure there is a good solution for that, but "all" is not an option. Maybe the returned value is affected by UA string. Maybe values need to be stored as specified. Maybe something else...
