getComputedStyle should also be a method of the element

[jcobban]

Why is it necessary to write:

window.getComputedStyle(element);

rather than the object-oriented:

element.getComputedStyle();

This method is defined by CSSOM, not DOM, so I don't think this is the right repo for the issue. Looks like it has come up there previously, though: w3c/csswg-drafts#379. (I don't know the history for why it's like this - FWIW I have mistyped it many times myself, forgetting its quirky placement).

Thanks @bathos. Let's continue discussion in that CSS WG issue.
