Maybe it's posibel to add some html comment tags to the backend status page,
for example  and 
And then when reading the file from the backend skip everything before the
begin comment and after the end comment.
The style tag probably needs to be rearanged a bit and the begin  comment
added somewere just after the body tab and the end comment just before the
end of the body tag.

That shoud result in something that coud be inserted into a page in mythweb.

It's just an idea, I don't know if it works or not.
