There is a format/practice/convention called RDFa (Resource Description Format in attributes)[1] that can be used to add semantic information to HTML pages in a machine readable form. Perhaps that can be of help? Something that could be used by shr/eww when navigating the pages? Basically RDFa consists of adding the properties "property" and sometimes also "content", to HTML elements. If there are no elements, a piece of text can be surrounded by a elment with "property" and "content" attributes. The "property" attribute is a URL identifying a property type, and "content" may be used to present a more machine friendly form of the element content (e.g. the date in a more easily parsed form).
