Created attachment 124711 [details] Testcase showing bizarre WebKit behavior Per spec, a style declaration object should have a property called "fontSize". WebKit has that, but it _also_ has a property called "font-size" which is not described in the spec and is not implemented in any other browsers. Some sites are using these properties to lock out non-WebKit UAs now. These properties should be either standardized or removed.

Does IE also support these? I think that might have been the original motivation.

Yes. IE does, but FF and Opera do not. You're probably right about that being the motivation. The primary issue is whether or not this is used in the real world. If not, I'd rather remove it than push for spec change.

It looks like all browsers handle this test case the same way.
