I too hope for this- I mentioned it in another thread about UX, but basically it would be great if the web was just data and some metadata, and our browser would skin everything appropriately. A lightweight web is pipe dream though :(
Us likeminded people should band together and create some kind of guild or cabal devoted to dismantling this crushing regime of lazy, flat, aesthetically unfulfilling UI styling. The neo-skeuomorphist reactionary front would be a good name
