HTML layout can do that, but it doesn't have to. If the author specifies specific sizes and fonts and absolute positions then you don't have much control over it. However, if it is written with relative positions, font suggestions, designs it to be floable then you have much more control as the end user. This doesn't have to do with the newer standards so much as how people are using them.

That said, there are add-ins for browers that allow you to substitue your own styles/stylesheets for the ones pulled down from the web site which gives you ultimate control over the display of the content.
