Since Axiom currently has no worksheet-style interface of it's own your proposal for SageLite is extremely interesting to me as an Axiom developer and user. Being able to offer Axiom users an attractive notebook front-end would be worth a lot to them - even better that the same interface can be used in a number of other systems. From this point of view SageLIte be considers as a kind of browser-based "TeXmacs" system. I also believe (as you implied in an email later in this thread) that making it easy for users to install this "lite" version of Sage for purposes that are of immediate interest to them - even if those interests do not currently include the computational features of Sage itself - in the long run could be highly beneficial to Sage since SageLite might be a very good way to make a positive first impression on an entirely new class of potential Sage users.
