http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?saved=2517 shows that other browsers (IE, blink, WebKit) no longer implement the quirk added in bug 99554 to allow {} around the style attribute.  We should remove this.

(Discussed in CSS meeting today, briefly.)
The tests pass with the patch; without the patch
test_style_attribute_quirks.html fails 2 tests.

(I guess it would have been simpler to write the test as a reftest, but either way.)

Script tests should be lower-overhead to run, though.

Adding dev-doc-needed, I'm not sure this was previously documented, but if so we have to fix the documentation.
Keywords: dev-doc-needed
"In quirks mode, the CSS parser allows {} around the contents of style attributes (bug 99554)."
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla_Quirks_Mode_Behavior
I added a sentence "This behavior is being removed in Firefox 27, for interoperability.", plus a link to this bug, after the quote in Comment 7.  Feel free to edit/extend as appropriate.

Leaving dev-doc-needed in case there's anything else that needs updating.
Simon, what's the testing situation here?
