If you take this position, I would suggest that your requirements on
a web document language better fit PDF, which started being unashamedly
about accurate visual reproduction and also addressed various other
things demanded by commercial users, such as some level of copy protection.

(SVG is similar, although my feeling is that PDF better supports 
accessibility.  It doesn't address other commercial wants as well as
PDF.)

Yes.  There is one tool, marketed/given away by Apple, that basically 
constructs web pages from span, div and a, which tends to be the natural
consequence of using something vaguely like HTML, but with no intention
of doing anything but controlling visual rendering.
