This is extremely nontrivial in practice.  CSS styles that don't behave in a very particular way need a whole bunch of special-casing to work properly with execCommand().  There's unique special-case code for every command in my spec except bold, fontName, and italic, I think.  There are probably only one or two additional properties that would make any sense without special-cases, like font-variant.

We do definitely need to make execCommand() more extensible going forward, once the current implementation is settled down a bit more.  But it's not likely to be a matter of just passing the name and value of a CSS property, more like the author will have to write a few callbacks.
