Isn't the first thing AMP does pull in some javascript that was required to render the page? I recall there being some relatively long delay showing an empty page if you had some stuff blocked because it was waiting for a fallback. Or maybe that was some other google thing that did it. That's exactly the opposite of HTML first with small sprinkles of CSS and JS.

Well, I meant, a web-standard like AMP aimed at clamping down webpage-obesity would be nice (instead of AMP).
I think most of that could be achieved by a bunch of CSP rules that disable various features. No frames, no 3rd-party js, various request types restricted to same-site and data: URIs. Don't grant sandbox: allow-same-origin and the site will be a unique origin on each visit, thus effectively disabling cookies.
So it's already possible to achieve quite restricted subsets of what a website can do. The issue is agreeing on what subset is useful enough for many sites.
