It would be nice to be able to disable specific CSS properties.
I will be very useful especially with CSS3 invasive properties coming like the
Target properties (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-hyperlinks/#target0), CSS cursors
(url), fonts and so on.

Theese properties are not yet implemented, but it would be nice to be able to
prevent some properties to be used from now, for example colors, position etc.

This could work for example like the javascript policies.

Reproducible: Always

Wouldn't a few rules in your user stylesheet fix this? something like:

* {
  property: <non-invasive-value> ! important;
}

User stylesheets work fine, although there are issues with pseudo-elements, and
they could be a little easier to use.  But the bug as filed works for me.
