Correct.  I was describing the referred object, not the interface (the comma 
was intended to make that clear).  Interfaces have attributes; objects have 
properties.  It should be noted that …

The CSS2Properties interface is referred to from the description of the 
CSSStyleDeclaration interface, so the latter is a good start for reading.  
That also shows why the property name is “style”: the ElementCSSInlineStyle 
interface has a single attribute named “style” of type 
“CSSStyleDeclaration”, which element objects implement.
