I think the crucial thing is that it could be a "soft fork", something that is fully interoperable with current browsers. The important thing is to foster a community of people who are willing accept a common ground. Think of Medium or tumblr etc, but with different angle. Sure, it won't be for everyone, but it doesn't need to be massively popular to be a success and to thrive. You could build interesting link aggregations and search engines around sites built with the "dogma" spec, which allows people more readily spend time on the sort of sites the like. Nobody thinks that you can't build low-fi sites already now, but connecting authors and readers is the tricky part. Of course I have my own ideas how it could work, there could be an optional headers, one from browsers saying "I want light/fat version" and one from server indicating if it's lightweight so that browser can apply better default styling and disable features. I also think it makes sense to define different levels or profiles of features so that you don't need to try to get everyone to agree on everything, but that might be problematic.
