Why would anyone bother with such a thing? Javascript (interpreted)
execution is typically fast enough anyway. A browser has to understand
all HTML including almost everything that is nominally "deprecated" but
which lives on anyway, as it's impossible to remove features from HTML
(perhaps one of two minor features have gone, I'm told). The browser
has to build a DOM out of the HTML you supply and be able to modify it
if required to by any javascript that you include along with it. And
then it has to render the result to the viewport so the user can see
it.

Why do you think a "rudimentary" [1] browser would need to do anything
less?

If you want to put an application together using a browser as one
component, then see here for an example:

[1] whatever "rudimentary" means in this context.
