I think the biggest problem with this idea is that any modern browser
is going to open multiple concurrent connections to the server.  Those
aren't going to multiplex over a serial link.

One approach would be to run a SLIP link to the PIC.  If you don't
want a TCP/IP stack on the PIC, I don't see how you could do it
without some additional code on the PC; some sort of proxy server that
the browser would connect to and convert the connections to serialized
requests over the COM port.
