You actually can. There is no need for HTML to render webpages, as
Lively show nicely. Pages can be composed just from JavaScript by DOM
manipulation API. Same with CSS. And even a combination is possible: JS
built page, but with classical external CSS.

External CSS is ideal for web designers and Lively can be actually
improved visualy that way. Whic would also make it more popular, we
shouldn't forget aesthetics even for academic work to be successful
these days  :)
