Answer 1

Adobe Postscript is the most likely alternative to CSS. The problem is that it requires Acrobat to view it on the desktop or on the web. It is far superior to CSS and maintains design intent and scales across all devices, including printers, plotters, phones, tablets and just about anything with a Postscript interpreter.

Postscript has a ZERO learning curve, unless you're implementing it for a particular device. It is programmed by millions of programmers, graphic artists, artists, professional printer and even the lowest skilled home computer user. All you need to do is select print or save from any application's menu.It does support linking and field inputs. Is it searchable? It is and PS-based documents frequently appear in Google's search pages.

Although, it can be viewed from a web browser in the form of a PDF, it isn't a native browser language like HTML and CSS. Why isn't it, if it is so easy and powerful? When the web was starting out, Adobe was too shortsighted and greedy open up the language. They wanted to sell licenses to their PS engines and their content creation products. To Adobe, giving away a PS browser was like giving away the Goose and the golden eggs.
