text-decoration, and ::first-line/::first-letter

[David Hyatt]

Safari gets most of this right.  Safari already propagates  
text-decorations in effect into pseudo-styles (that was done in a  
WebCore you haven't seen yet).

I had plans to fix first-line/first-letter, but I'm still trying to get  
consensus from the CSS WG on how it should all work before I rip it up.
