title: CSS parser/abstracter? How to convert stylesheet into object
body: <p>Is there a standard or reliable method already out there for a javascript framework such as jquery to parse a stylesheet into an object?</p>
  
  <p>Two reasons for why I'm wondering:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>I have seen a couple of questions where someone wanted to know how to get the style attribute that was set by the stylesheet for a selector, not what the selector eventually inherited.</p></li>
  <li><p>If <a href="http://sizzlejs.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sizzle</a> does what it is supposed to, this could be a solution for making sure a stylesheet got rendered correctly cross-browser. Basically have jquery parse the stylesheet and set all of the attributes manually (maybe based on browser or known unimplemented selectors.) that way the designers/developers just write a CSS3 stylesheet that is forward compatible and have jquery/sizzle do the work the browser won't.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>The only downside I see is that this still won't implement CSS3 attributes, but it's a start.</p>
