Actually, I think this is invalid. Using .style sets the STYLE attribute value
which overrides the CSS value because it is more specific...

Please attach a testcase if you thought of something different.

Note that this bug is INVALID. It is probably a DUPLICATE.

Resolving INVALID. Please
see: <http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Style-20001113/css.html#CSS-htmlelementcss>
"Inline style information attached to elements is exposed through the style
attribute."

Following the normal cascade rules that means Mozilla is doing the right thing.
