I don't think you'd even need a separate http server for this.  You 
should be able to have the WebView catch requests and insert its own 
responses.  (This is possible with WebKitGTK, though I don't know that 
these bindings are exposed in Oxide.)  These requests could be given 
their own protocol to avoid accidental conflicts with other services.  
(ubuntu-theme://default.css, ubuntu-theme://ambiance/icons/back.svg, 
etc.)

It's an intriguing possibility!
