Agreed, but as a curious person, I gave it a try and I included live- 
updated style elements in an html.

This gives you an idea about how smart the various browsers are :
1) In Firefox (the clear winner), when a style element is live- 
updated, the new style is immediately applied.
2) In Safari, the Javascript gets an exception when you try to live- 
update a style element.
You need to catch it, if you want to update the rest of the live- 
updated elements.
3) In IE, live updates of style elements are silently ignored and the  
rest of the live-updated elements are updated.

So I published  SeasideAsync-mb.38 that includes the try/catch in the  
Javascript.
