You are missing the point.  The question was about if there are any formal 
specifications as to how style property names translate to style *object* 
property names.

There are not; there are only de-facto standards (which Mozilla *appears* 
not to care to follow for some reason).

There is nothing authoritative about this site, so it fails to meet the 
request.

I strongly recommend to avoid all the approaches mentioned there except CSS 
preprocessors like LESS and SASS (use them server-side if possible).

I am not sure if this is a good idea at all.

(Unguarded) for-in iteration over host objects certainly is a Very Bad Idea, 
as you have been told before.

Should be at least /^(moz|webkit)/i.
