Julian, on what basis do you assert that the HTML is all that matters. 
As far as I know, the agreements we have in place make the HTML one of 
the output formats, no more and no less privileged. You may want a 
different answer, but until we have rough consensus on such a different 
answer, asserting one does not make it so.

Yours,
Joel
