That's using an , for which the bitmap it generates DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE STYLES.

What we are discussing is your proposal that for an element the generated bitmap depend on styles, but on some totally different set of styles from the ones the element actually has assigned... and that this totally different set only be used in situations when the element happens to have certain "real" styles.
