Good news: this is exactly the approach that Web Apps 1.0 takes. It  
has fairly strict conformance requirements for content and content  
producers (in some ways more strict than HTML4), and extremely  
lenient rules that content consumers such as browsers are required to  
implement. In fact, I was planning to cite Postel's Law myself in  
explaining the approach.
