At one point we agreed to add Element.getDefaultComputedStyle to CSSOM to address the "what is the default (user+ua) value for this element for a given CSS property?" use case. It looks like it's been removed from CSSOM at some point, but I see nothing replacing it. Certainly none of the things on http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom/#getstyleutils cover this use case. Am I just missing something? The lack of such an API is causing libraries like jQuery to rely on weird display:none iframe hacks in an attempt to gather this sort of information. And even with those hacks, if user/UA stylesheets have media query dependent styles there's no way for them to get correct answers. -Boris
