Sean,
  I've thought about it, and am not sure I want to use that as a
long-term solution simply because it places a very long conversion in
path of content development (one of the current problems).  But it is
certainly an option for near-term development and deployment of
additional formats.  If we have direct conversion to HTML, that should 
be sufficient for content development.

  Cool!  Thanks for the pointer!
