I suppose you can try to load the style sheet and add random stuff to your document to try to figure out what the style rules are, but that seems less interesting. Maybe you're right, but it requires a lot of careful thought by people with the right mentality before I'd be comfortable allowing cross-origin references. (We've been stuck with cross-origin CSS loads from the beginning, and have had to deal with some ugly fallout from that over the years.)
