I guess PDF is sort of the "compiled" version while we're talking about the source of the document (HTML). You can convert both Latex and HTML to PDF. So I guess perhaps what I'm saying is that Latex is a better tool than HTML for writing publications simply because it was built for that. So forget PDF. Perhaps we can add markup to Latex documents and make them linked data friendly? That would be cool.
