Big thanks! Replacing the node instead of updating the node value
worked with 1.8 branch.

I had also been busy with embedding trunk 1.9 and finally got it to
work a few minutes back. Trunk 1.9 works with my original route of
updating css node value, as you pointed out earlier. 1.9 also works
with the nsIDOMCSSRule/nsIDOMCSSStyleRule interfaces, no error was
thrown. I will probably go with 1.9 since DOMCSS stuff offer much
granular control. Hope 1.9 will be released soon.

Thank you for bearing with me and clarifying the mystery for me. You
are super. This group is really helpful.
