This method, in conjunction with the ondragend event, may not fully update runtimeStyle or its closely related currentStyle:
e.g. drag-drop a CLASS=... Object into an Object that specially has JScript ondragend=...clearAttributes() ...
... leaves the Object appearing to have retained its original styles, margins, though the element itself, its style and said runtimeStyle and currentStyle, are either blank or already-inherited from its style-sheeted Object.... and its appearance does not agree with its various-time style specifications....
