No, it's not a bug. It's not a bug to work according to specifications
even when this means helping the author to hurt users.

Of course. But that's a different issue. By CSS rules, the user is able
to do that by instructing the browser not to apply style sheets, or not
to apply the author style sheet, or to apply a user style sheet that
overrides things in the author style sheet.

We've gone through this a couple of time.
