Started work on new attr plugin - will provide a ton of accessors for common styles and attributes.

attr/attr.js

+var pos = [
+  "height", "width", "top", "left", "bottom", "right",
+  "paddingTop", "paddingRight", "paddingBottom", "paddingLeft",
+  "marginTop", "marginRight", "marginBottom", "marginLeft",
+  "lineHeight", "maxWidth", "maxHeight", "minWidth", "minHeight",
+  "textIndent", "fontSize"
+];
+
+for ( var i = 0; i < pos.length; i++ ) {
+	(function(){
+		var o = pos[i];
+		$.fn[o] = function(a){
+			return a ?
+				this.css(o,a) :
+				parseInt( this.css(o) );
+		};
+	})();
+}
+
+var posArg = [
+	"clientLeft", "clientTop", "clientWidth", "clientHeight",
+	"offsetLeft", "offsetTop", "offsetWidth", "offsetHeight",
+	"scrollLeft", "scrollTop", "scrollWidth", "scrollHeight"
+];
+
+for ( var i = 0; i < posArg.length; i++ ) {
+	(function(){
+		var o = posArg[i];
+		$.fn[o] = function(a){
+			return a ? this.each(function(){
+				this[o] = parseInt( a );
+			}) : this.size() > 0 ?
+				this.get(0)[o] :
+				null;
+		};
+	})();
+}
