I really, really like this concept. I've had the same thought a few times.
The hard thing for me is the whole domain aspect of the website, and then the creative freedom from the creator. One example of this is someone's personal blog: People tend to get very creative in how they design their personal blogs/websites, and I personally find a majority of them hard to consume their content (the fonts/colors/spacing of the text usually aren't super a11y). It would be fantastic for people to design their blogs as you mentioned above, but I also completely understand the fact that the creator of the site doesn't owe the end user anything (well a11y of course (; ), the design of their personal site/blog is an extension of their creative freedom, and they may prefer their users to consume their content they way it was intended. It's a weird fine line.
I've been writing a rough draft for a post about using minimal css frameworks like new.css, and injecting the stylesheet & custom theme overrides into a browser plugin to quickly override a websites styles. I really love the idea!
Please, share the link when you publish the post; I will definitely read it. I was actually playing with a minimal CSS framework idea too (and created a customizable classless CSS library). In an Internet world where everything needs to be bigger, better, and noisier, the idea of a simple HTML+CSS sounds refreshing.
