Not as I had originally intended it. I had originally intended
getDescriptor() to mirror getPropertyValue() behavior, which operates on
CSS Property Names, like 'font-family', and not their ES Property Name
counterpart, like 'fontFamily'. That is, I had intended the use of
getDescriptor('unicode-range') and get('unicodeRange'), and neither
getDescriptor('unicodeRange') nor get('unicode-range').

So that is why I asked if both of these (distinct) property name domains
should be supported. If we only want to support the camel-cased, IDL
attribute name variants of the CSS source code descriptor names, then we
don't need {get/set}Descriptor.
