I haven't really had the opportunity to think through any concrete details. 
But a couple basic thoughts:

- It would be one unified language or protocol. None of this flip-flopping 
between (X)HTML and CSS bullshit. (X)HTML/CSS *could* have facilitated 
separation of content and styling in one language. They just didn't bother 
to design it that way. (The Internet's credo is "Why fix what's broken when 
you can just pile more broken crap on top?")

- Controling how it reflows would be a major component. (X)HTML/CSS are 
garbage at this. Whether they realize it or not, that's ultimately one of 
the main reasons a lot of sites use those static-layout abominations. GUI 
desktop software and GUI design programs are big inspirations for this.
