That's a big IF.  I think Orion's issue is that because it is possible
to produce documents to an appearence on a small number of desktop 
browsers, nearly every commercial web site author does so.   The result
is that the vast majority of real life web pages will not work except
on a rather narrow range of platforms.

Unfortunately, a lot of web sites are much more about branding and 
visual entertainment than content, so any solution that removes those
possibilities from authors is commercially non-viable except in niche
markets (my guess is research based company intranets and the better
universities).
