1) It isn't that simple
2) Security holes
3) To fix the security holes, you would need to set up a secure connection to the w3c standards source, which is slow. Through that secure connection you would need to download and implement the new specification through every page you visit. Otherwise, it would be the same as just updating your browser.

Most of the people still using IE6 are using it from a company mainframe that no-one updates.

edit: By the way, those files would be HUGE. A small part of the browsers job is to read something like HTML, apply default styles, user default styles, a stylesheet, and then a user stylesheet. This isn't all magic. Ir would need to go through serious changes from the update server.
