The point (such as it is) is that getOverrideStyle is _writable_ and allows you
to effectively set inline style even if the document language does not support
such a concept. Computed style is readonly.
Are there any UAs which actually implement getOverrideStyle? None of the
browsers do, but do any of the SVG implementations?
