The code looks very cool. Great job on creating such a concise dialect. I would have fun experimenting with this, but that's probably as far as it would go as the massive number of people that are already comfortable HTML/CSS can't be ignored. I think it's easy to discount the value of mind share, but why try to replace HTML/CSS when every beginning web developer knows it?

I don't feel any pain in writing HTML/CSS as it is. Also, I would feel a bit uncomfortable moving away from the underlying language, with the feeling that it might make writing/debugging regular javascript more difficult.
