Sure, why not!

I agree and that's all fine. I've only proposed one particular solution 
that made the most sense to me. Going from one to another is not an 
issue either. People are going to do whatever is convenient or suitable 
for them in the end (just like LaTeX->PDF).

The primary problem is not about solving x in HTML+CSS+x, but that 
HTML+CSS is not even an option to begin with for "major" "international" 
"Semantic Web" conferences to better preserve and foster smart 
identification and discovery of research components.  Reproducibility 
suffers along the way. There is absolutely nothing worthwhile we can 
query for from past SW/LD research.
