The style property has been part of the HTMLElement interrface for
many years. Reading ahead, I see this has been addressed.

It would be useful to have a few others:

  computedStyle
  cascadedStyle
  getStyleValueAs(prop, unit);

The computedStyle is already possible, just clunky. A cascadedStyle
doesn't exist. getStyleValueAs exists as a very clunky API that
doesn't work in browsers.
