visible attribute

It should be a fairly common thing for certain layers of a graphic
to be hidden from display or made visible in response to check box
events in the containing HTML form.

Currently, the only apparent mechanism to enable or display
visibility is to manipulated the "display" fragment of the style
to and from a value of "none".  This appears to me to be a little
too complex and error-prone and it would be useful to have
an explicit boolean property "visible" with a default value of true
on the styleable elements.
