Can't you disable stylesheets in MSIE?

Isn't there someway to completely disable stylesheets in MSIE? (Delete
some dll's or perhaps hex edit them?)

MSIE follows absolute specifications in stylesheets (which i think is
bad), and too many webdesigners don't understand HTML and want WYSIWYG
design. Ie, the fonts are too damn small to read.

Ah, but then you can go the Accessibility setting and tick "Ignore font
sizes specified on web pages" ?

Wrong, because the twits at microsoft never get it quite right. It
disables font size allright, but NOT lineheight!

So if you had a page with font size 8, and line height 9. You can now
have a font which is 20 points heigh, but the line height is STILL only
9 - so the page is still unreadable, now because all the letters are
mostly ontop of each other...

Aonther great annoyance is when people put stylesheet width (msie won't
resize it then) on a table, so it looks nice on their big monitor on
their wide setting, but if you have a smaller screen size you have to
scroll left and right for each line in order to read it!

So if one could someone disable it entirely, that would be nice.
