Setting cssText for inline links crashes IE (ie7-recalc.js)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Apply the IE7 and IE7-refresh scripts.
2. Place a StyleSheet link (w/ blank content) in the body tag (I know this 
is invalid markup).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the extended "trash" method should replace the CSS text of all non-ie7 
StyleSheets. When it attempts to replace the cssText of the inline 
StyleSheet, the browser crashes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
IE7/8 & ie7-refresh, Windows XP, IE7

Please provide any additional information below.
In the ie7-refresh extended IE7.CSS.trash method, changing the second 
condition in the loop (!styleSheet.cssText) to pass if null 
(styleSheet.cssText == null) avoids the crash. Since the inline doc is 
empty the cssText string is empty and passes the validation.

I've noticed this too for CSS-files that are not found (404)
fix: in ie7-recalc line 97 add "&& styleSheet.cssText != ''"

    trash: function() {
      // trash the old style sheets
      var styleSheets = document.styleSheets, styleSheet, i;
      for (i = 0; i < styleSheets.length; i++) {
        styleSheet = styleSheets[i];
        if (!styleSheet.ie7 && !styleSheet.cssText && styleSheet.cssText != '') {
          styleSheet.cssText = styleSheet.cssText;
        }
      }
      this.base();
    },
