The APIs that return a "computed value", like getComputedStyle, actually return a string that, if re-assigned as style, will produce the same computed value. When this isn't possible, as is sometimes the case with shorthands, the correct answer is to return the empty string, as specified in <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom/#serializing-css-values>. ~TJ
