Old School Search Engine Proposal

I think there should be a search engine which only returns web pages that use HTML 3 or earlier. It would be a cool way to surf an older, crustier web that has been ignored for a while—like surfing the web in 1995. I'm not quite sure how it could be done without crawling the web and creating your own database, which is totally impractical for the scope of this idea. Maybe some screen scraping of google results, but that would probably take a long time to retrieve anything. Maybe it would return results from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine... Anyone have any suggestions?
