There you're just removing it from the style attribute-- it will still
apply if it's in a CSS rule whose selector matches the element.

Sorry, I've been out of town...

It seems to me that if setting the style to empty works then it seems
like

Method addRule is not documented to work that way[1]. This would result
in unexpected results such as a javascript error, no effect, creates a
rule that is ignored because the property value is invalid, or shadows
the existing property.

you should also be able to addRule/insertRule and set the css text
to empty.

I'm assuming you guys know about that, for those that don't, something
like this will add a rule to the end of your last stylesheet:

Use:-

td.some {
display: block;
display: table-cell;
}

User agents must ignore a declaration with an illegal value[2]. To IE,
table-cell is illegal, so it ignores that.
