Windows screenreaders want computedStyle.display in order to determine whether a particular element is block or inline. It affects how information is presented to a blind user, and how they navigate the page.

Any suggestions for a good way to access this information in an up-to-date manner? Should I make it part of AccessibilityObject, which seems to have a mechanism for keeping its data in sync?
