See attached test case, which should force style to be re-resolved on a
paragraph, applying the :first-letter pseudo.

  <html>
  <head>
    <style type="text/css">
       body.styled p.firstletter:first-letter { color: blue; }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body onload="document.body.setAttribute('class', 'styled');">
    <p class="firstletter">
      The letter `T' should be blue.
    </p>
  </body>
  </html>

Expected: `T' is blue.
Actual: nothing happens.

N.B. that this works fine:

  <style type="text/css">
    p.firstletter:first-letter { color: blue; }
  </style>

Interesting bug, because fixing it may have an impact on the the proposed fix
for bug 79508.
The other interesting thing is that if there is any style on the first letter, 
then the attribute change on the body causes a style resolution.

    <style type="text/css">
       body.styled  { color: red; font-size:24px;}
       p.firstletter:first-letter { color: green;}
       body.styled p.firstletter:first-letter { color: blue; }
    </style>
