I think it would be a shame for every website to look the same. Not all information is textual - we’re visual creatures and a lot of meaning can be conveyed through color, layout, font choices etc.

That's what PDF is for ;) But yes, that's an obvious objection and if I had good responses to all the obvious objections, I would have something more than a crackpot theory. At the same time, I think the web as it is now is the worst possible state of affairs. There's no clear distinction between content and UI. You can theoretically use predefined UI elements, but nobody ever does and if they do, they can (and almost always do) completely change their behavior.
