w3m, lynks, elinks? falkon?

I'm not sure what you mean given that JS and CSS account for at least half of the kitchen sink.

Hell, wasn't there someone that implemented an entire OS stack in CSS?

My point is a new standard, document format, and browser that doesn't have the capabilities which limits publishers to ... not what we have now.

The existence of elinks which is marginally useful on the modern web doesn't make the cut nor do tools to un-shitify the existing web.

What's the difference between that and a subset of what we have now, without, say WebUSB?

I'm talking about no javascript, no additional requests besides the bare document, no sending any information back home. Dynamic behavior only by a simple declarative language.
