Companies can be remarkably sensitive about violations of house style, 
and, in particular, logos.  In the early days of Windows, people in the 
company I worked for at the time started improvising the logo on their 
PCs.  A message was sent from the marketing director that the logo must 
only appear in the official colours - difficult with 16 or 256 colours!

This will normally be resolved by removing the requirement to allow user 
style sheets, which was probably never formally on the table, in the 
first place.  What is really being attempted here is to preseve the 
right to configure ones own browser, not the ability of the author to 
create what they want.
