916977 - Add an API to retrieve authored styles including invalid and double properties

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: CSS Object Model, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Sebastian Zartner [:sebo]]

There should be a chrome-only API allowing to get all CSS properties as they were authored. This especially includes properties with invalid names or values and equally named properties within one rule (even when they are all valid). Furthermore values of shorthand properties should be returned in the order they were authored.
This API is needed to allow Firebug[1] and the devtools[2][3] to display the user the properties as they were defined and to display them hints that they are wrong or duplicated.
This was initially described in comment 46 of bug 731271.
