how about having a CSS rule:

div.forceimportantstuff
{ top: 0.5em !important;
}

Then, when you want to set the !important stuff just do:

logoDiv.setAttribute( 'class', logoDiv.getAttribute('class') + ' forceimportantstuff' );

Of course, you'll have to deal with the class/className
confusion IE has.
