https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/csswg/raw-file/tip/cssom/Overview.html#the-elementcssinlinestyle-interface

[[
The ElementCSSInlineStyle interface is implemented by Element objects in order to provide access to inline style properties.
[NoInterfaceObject]
interface ElementCSSInlineStyle {
    readonly attribute CSSStyleDeclaration style;
};


style of type CSSStyleDeclaration, readonly

The style attribute must return a mutable CSSStyleDeclaration object    that represents the inline style properties of the associated Element instance.

HTML has: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/elements.html#dom-style

SVG has: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/types.html#__svg__SVGElement__style

I think we should make the definition in CSSOM more like HTML's definition, then make the HTML and SVG specs say (HTML|SVG)Element implements ElementCSSInlineStyle; if CSS is supported (and not if it's not).
