Okay, how is it loading this HTML? How would it render it? What about website security policies? Would there be stylesheets? How would links to other places be handled? How would input work without a mouse?

At the very least, this would be a project very similar to Gossamer and a non-negligible amount of work to make a reality.

None of those are technically hard requirements for a web browser. There are terminal-based web browsers for Linux like lynx, which aren't too difficult to use. Obviously JavaScript and anything graphical won't work, but a lot of sites are still mostly usable, since making a website work with screen readers and other accessibility tools also usually makes it work with command-line browsers.

I think the bigger concern would be SSL, since a lot of sites (Cemetech included) just redirect everything from unencrypted http to https, and refuse to serve an actual page except over a secure connection. I suppose you could use a proxy to get around that, though.
