I would also much prefer that the property *continue to* be the actual
storage,   and   the   presentation   attribute   continue   to  be  a
zero-specificity  way  to specify the property value, while stlesheets
(style  attributes,  style elements, external stylesheets) continue to
be another higher specificity way to specify the same property.
