True. Well, if the content is being flowed into arbitrary container shapes
then it's not necessarily being styled "exactly as the author intended", but
OK.

But it seems that what you want is basically "seamless" minus the first two
CSS features here:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete.html#attr-iframe-seamless
is it not?

If so, then extending or modifying "seamless" with more control over how
styles in the outer document affect the inner document seems like the way to
go.
