(Such as, for instance, font-size:, especially when combined
with a non-‘auto’ width:.)

And, well, it also supports the color-related CSS properties, at
least those specified via the ‘style’ HTML attribute.

I stand corrected: this workaround does not help with the CSS
(‘style’ attribute) color settings. Redefining
shr-colorize-region to a no-op, however, seems to work:
(eval-after-load 'shr
'(defun shr-colorize-region (start end fg &optional bg)
nil))
A proper solution would probably be to allow for a custom
initial stylesheet, along with a proper cascading implementation
(including the ‘!important’ flag handling), so that the user
could both specify the default appearance, /and/ override the
explicit styles as set by the HTML document being rendered.
