Wasn't your point that TeX/LaTeX is what many authors now use.
That is my point also. One needs to provide something close to
that familiar ground.

If I understand this correctly, I think that what the author
originally writes ideally should be something that is either
XML or equivalent to XML. That can be done with LaTeX-like
markup, but actual LaTeX (unless it is written under a tightly
controlled regime) is just not a good domain for translation
to anything other than a printed page.
