I really think there should be a .text TLD.
That would be great -- I'm imagining a whole TLD full of sites like http://text.npr.org and http://lite.cnn.io/en.
Doesn't have to be that minimalistic - I could see up-to-date CSS being a good member of a document-only web.

gopher://
I do find it interesting that within the last year, two new and viable gopher browsers have been created - one for Windows and one for Android.

There's .page that could work just as well. I'd be keen to see a movement like that too.
I don't know how you enforce it exactly, and maybe it's redundant with pastebin.
It still nags at me that sometimes I want to go to the web to just read a thing, measured in the tens of kilobytes, and all this other nonsense just gets in the way.
It's my kooky nostalgia probably. Old man yells at cloud. But other times, for fleeting moments, I think about applying for that TLD and feel just a bit like Ray Kinsella...
