Steps to reproduce:

I added a link-element for a stylesheet in my html head and set the attribute disabled.

<link id="stylesheet" rel="stylesheet" href="..." disabled>


Actual results:

The stylesheet takes effect and all styles will applied until I disabled the link element with javascript:

document.getElementById('stylesheet').disabled = false


Expected results:

Firefox should support disabling stylesheets or simply should let it be. If I do it with javascript or with html should be the same.

I prefer to support disabling stylesheets.

Latest spec draft states disabled is unset by default. I can imagine use cases for having stylesheets disabled in the markup though, and I like the suggestion.
