Silverlight is a tool for developing web applications (RIA - Rich Internet Applications).

Pure HTML+ CSS (even if it is HTML5 and CSS3) will only produce web sites unless you put some code/framework behind them.

Therefore while visually they might look similar they are two completely separate things behind the scenes.
