    /*

    NOTES
     * Style node must be added to the head element.  Safari does not honor styles
       applied to StyleSheet objects on style nodes in the body.
     * StyleSheet object is created on the style node when the style node is added
       to the head element in Firefox 2 (and maybe 3?)
     * The cssRules collection is replaced after insertRule/deleteRule calls in
       Safari 3.1.  Existing Rules are used in the new collection, so the collection
       cannot be cached, but the rules can be.
     * Opera requires that the index be passed with insertRule.
     * Same-domain restrictions prevent modifying StyleSheet objects attached to
       link elements with remote href (or "about:blank" or "javascript:false")
     * Same-domain restrictions prevent reading StyleSheet cssRules/rules
       collection of link elements with remote href (or "about:blank" or
       "javascript:false")
     * Same-domain restrictions result in Safari not populating node.sheet property
       for link elements with remote href (et.al)
     * IE names StyleSheet related properties and methods differently (see code)
     * IE converts tag names to upper case in the Rule's selectorText
     * IE converts empty string assignment to complex properties to value settings
       for all child properties.  E.g. style.background = '' sets non-'' values on
       style.backgroundPosition, style.backgroundColor, etc.  All else clear
       style.background and all child properties.
     * IE assignment style.filter = '' will result in style.cssText == 'FILTER:'
     * All browsers support Rule.style.cssText as a read/write property, leaving
       only opacity needing to be accounted for.
     * Benchmarks of style.property = value vs style.cssText += 'property: value'
       indicate cssText is slightly slower for single property assignment.  For
       multiple property assignment, cssText speed stays relatively the same where
       style.property speed decreases linearly by the number of properties set.
       Exception being Opera 9.27, where style.property is always faster than
       style.cssText.
     * Opera 9.5b throws a syntax error when assigning cssText with a syntax error.
     * Opera 9.5 doesn't honor rule.style.cssText = ''.  Previous style persists.
       You have to remove the rule altogether.
     * Stylesheet properties set with !important will trump inline style set on an
       element or in el.style.property.
     * Creating a worker style collection like document.createElement('p').style;
       will fail after a time in FF (~5secs of inactivity).  Property assignments
       will not alter the property or cssText.  It may be the generated node is
       garbage collected and the style collection becomes inert (speculation).
     * IE locks up when attempting to add a rule with a selector including at least
       characters {[]}~`!@%^&*()+=|? (unescaped) and leading _ or -
       such as addRule('-foo','{ color: red }') or addRule('._abc','{...}')
     * IE's addRule doesn't support comma separated selectors such as
       addRule('.foo, .bar','{..}')
     * IE throws an error on valid values with leading/trailing white space.
     * When creating an entire sheet at once, only FF2/3 & Opera allow creating a
       style node, setting its innerHTML and appending to head.
     * When creating an entire sheet at once, Safari requires the style node to be
       created with content in innerHTML of another element.
     * When creating an entire sheet at once, IE requires the style node content to
       be set via node.styleSheet.cssText
     * When creating an entire sheet at once in IE, styleSheet.cssText can't be
       written until node.type = 'text/css'; is performed.
     * When creating an entire sheet at once in IE, load-time fork on
       var styleNode = d.createElement('style'); _method = styleNode.styleSheet ?..
       fails (falsey).  During run-time, the test for .styleSheet works fine
     * Setting complex properties in cssText will SOMETIMES allow child properties
       to be unset
