You should be able to edit a whole CSSStyleDeclaration (like you can in the CSSOM with the cssText property).

Something like:

            {
                "name": "setStyleText",
                "parameters": [
                    { "name": "styleId", "$ref": "CSSStyleId" },
                    { "name": "text", "type": "string" },
                ],
                "returns": [
                    { "name": "style", "$ref": "CSSStyle", "description": "The resulting style after the text modification." }
                ],
                "description": "Sets the new <code>text</code> for the respective style."
            },

I understand you can get this crudely by using getStyleSheetText, replace the range gotten from the CSSStyle, then call setStyleSheetText. But that is fairly heavy handed, and would cause a world update for all rules in that stylesheet instead of a single rule.

Having this setStyleText call would allow features like free-form editing of inline styles or rules in the sidebar, instead of individual property editing.
