IFrame?
Presumably you would only need to undo those styles that "are
affecting the display of the embedded message."
Maybe those are not that many? Is there more than color, font,
background, padding, margin, border, ul, ol, dd,... ? Just about 20
lines or so. It doesn't look like a "poor hack" to me.
(turnOffCss might as well be a class not an id, no?)
