There are such subsets around: the one used by Texinfo's HTML export for portability [1] and by XMPP for XHTML-IM [2], the ones supported by simpler web browsers, the ones individual developers or projects stick to. An issue with that is the differences between those subsets (along with presence of multiple ones), although they seem to have quite a bit in common: attempted accessible websites tend to be usable in basic (or restricted) web browsers, possibly about as often as random/unrestricted websites are usable in major web browsers.
