/**
* This interface represents a document with a CSS view.
* The getOverrideStyle method provides a mechanism through
* which a DOM author could effect immediate change to the style of an
* element without modifying the explicitly linked style sheets of a
* document or the inline style of elements in the style sheets. This style
* sheet comes after the author style sheet in the cascade algorithm and is
* called override style sheet. The override style sheet takes precedence
* over author style sheets. An "!important" declaration still takes
* precedence over a normal declaration. Override, author, and user style
* sheets all may contain "!important" declarations. User "!important" rules
* take precedence over both override and author "!important" rules, and
* override "!important" rules take precedence over author "!important"
* rules.
*
The expectation is that an instance of the DocumentCSS
* interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an
* instance of the Document interface.
*
