Testcase: http://beallsprings.org/sandbox/Mod%20DOM%20test.html

Observation: Of the tested browsers, only Firefox renders the page AFTER  
applying the style modifications (which is what I wanted).

Question: Is there a way to make this work on all modern browsers?  How  
about an easy way?  Or is it a rather widespread bug?

Why would you want to do this:  Because I want to modify animation timing  
based on the current dimensions of the window, without user interaction  
and when the page is first displayed.  The intent is to synchronize an  
animated walking-figure .gif to the window width.
