Don't you get the idea, that there is a fundamental difference between 
HTML do***ents shown in browsers and the UI of an OS? And don't babble 
something about "specs" - it's your job to make things clear when 
accepting those specs and tell the customer, that a 100%-something 
integration won't be possible.

Anyway, since it is narrowed down to "standard or classic or Vista" 
layout: Write the according CSS, have the user choose between the style 
sheets mimicking the desktop appearance, store it in a cookie. Stop 
whining. You can even use Opera or Firefox or another browser then. As 
long as you don't have any form elements which are hard to impossible to 
skin.
