Hey, author of notty here. :-) This suggestion has been made many times, but unfortunately I think its not very viable. HTML/CSS simply weren't designed for the attributes which I think are fundamental to what makes a terminal a terminal: a character grid with a cursor, controlled over a streaming protocol.
There is one narrow sense in which its viable - you could have a terminal with a browser engine and javascript VM embedded inside it, and a command to open up a browser window and perform HTTP exchanges (either over the tty or through a TCP connection). This isn't really a new terminal, though, this is just a new way to open a web browser.
