i considered a similar premise (albeit less eloquently) in a weblog post a couple of weeks back:

lewitt's instruction art must be the closest reference point on the matter, although there's an interesting dichotomy between the "renderer": the artist obeying the instructions, vs the web browser.
by sheer coincidence, i also once wrote a dynamic html script that would allow wysiwyg creation of html drawings within a web browser. i'll dig it out as soon as i have the opportunity, and send it your way.
