How about this idea -- Go ahead and add the code that generates
reports using cool CSS and whatever (I presume GtkHTML will not choke
on CSS but degrade as it should) HOWEVER add a button that will launch
your favorite browser pointing to the generated HTML.

I haven't dug into scheme yet -- could it spit out a file in /tmp or
somewhere and launch a browser pointing at it?
