(1) there will always be a need to polyfill something on the web platform, and more generally to expose new functions to the style elements. (2) the whole point of the css object model is... to expose the css object model. why exposing parentRule but not parentElement? it doesn't really make sense to me. (3) beside polyfilling use-cases, what could you use the "parentRule" property for? did that prevent this property from existing?
