The relevant specification (DOM2 Style) only defines direct property 
access for the properties that existed at the time it was written (so 
more or less CSS 2.0).  Note that the interface is called 
CSS2Properties.  So no SVG things on that interface.

You can always set any CSS property you want by using 
.style.setProperty(name, value, "") (or "important" for that last bit if 
desired).

const name = value;

Your real issue here is that there is no good way to identify a given 
style rule.  Not much to work with there.

Uh... yes, you should be able to use the same style for all three.  What 
are you trying to do, exactly?  How does it fail?  Have you read the CSS 
specification (at least the part on selectors)?
