Piping curl into a pager

E.g.
$ curl www.google.com | sed '/<[^>]*>/d' | less

Could this be used as the basis for a text-based browser? Curl has POST and cookies support too, and Guile Scheme could be used instead of javascript.

it's not about elitism, it's about portability. if your script works with #!/bin/sh, it will work with other Bourne-compatible shells (ash, dash, bash, probably ksh and zsh too but I'm not an expert on those)
