Ok. I crafted a small command line utility [1] to automate this. Now you can say:

$ phantomjs respec2html.js Overview.src.html Overview.html

or

$ phantomjs respec2html.js http://dvcs.w3.org/path/to/Overview.src.html Overview.html

... to do the conversion.

I think this makes the work flow smooth enough, so that we can start publishing ED snapshots at Overview.html and put the ReSpec source at Overview.src.html. Do the fellow editors have concerns with this?

I plan to apply this to all the specs I edit currently (Battery Status API, HTML Media Capture, Ambient Light Events, Proximity Events, and Vibration API).
