So someone has to package this up so that it can be easily used.  Before then, 
how can it be required for conferences?

I have tex4ht installed, but there is no xhmlatex file to be found.  I managed 
to find what appears to be a good command line

htlatex schema-org-analysis.tex "xhtml,mathml" " -cunihtf" "-cvalidate"

This looks better when viewed, but the resultant HTML is unintelligible.

There is definitely more work needed here before this can be considered as a 
potential solution.
