why do you think there is an intermediate language? Netscape under
Windows, say, reads a CSS spec, and renders it by internal calls to
the underlying Windows GDI. there is no hook there which you can
attach to.

IF the browsers have a `byte code' layer and an API, then fine.

I suspect you'd be better off using a nice graphical markup language
like PGML or Microsoft's equivalent (--> SVG, when W3C complete their
work). Thats the XML equivalent of
PostScript, and you can expect browsers to support it directly
