Some sort of uniform, same syntax for representing all of HTML, CSS and the browser-side scripting language would have been a good start instead of this hodge podge of different notations clumsily embedded in each other.

Lisp for just CSS with all else same: lukewarm idea.

CSS would be nothing more than built-in functions to traverse nodes and change attributes. The latter of which would have already existed by virtue of having a programmatic interface with the DOM structure, and the former would have been invented in some form to build on whatever primitives existed, a la jQuery.

Kinda makes me wish I lived in that alternate universe.
