Too simplisitic and a Web topic rather than Debian topic.  But Debian 
attracts some formal language experts and some programmers. 

A browser can handle more than one language.  Firefox 
128.13.0esr(64-bit) opens PDF along with HTML.

I imagine three stages. 
(1) Identify a formal language improving upon HTML/CSS. Not a new 
idea.  I've seen Display PostScript and NeWS discussed.  Further  
development necessary.

(2) Add capability for the language to a  browser, parallel to PDF.
Firefox is an obvious possibility.

(3) Use the mechanism for documents.

I wouldn't expect to see initiative from Debian administrators.  Some 
Debian users might be interested.  Significant progress in my lifetime 
doesn't appear hopeful.

Regards,                        ... P.
