Well heck yes, but the Grail is not to tweak less, but not to tweak at all.
What are stylesheets but tweaking on a larger scale. I'm sure you could write tex4ht stylesheets and not have to tweak at all.
80/20 is well known to me. I would say I did maybe three loops of that, when I could have done it in one loop with Word (space-greedy tables were what I needed, and apparently the one area LaTeX lacks).
That might be because greedy tables are bad. Anyway, I'm sure that they can be done, as I've seen them done.
And I read manuals _extremely_ well... how else am I gonna learn anything at uni?
I'll maintain a respectful silence on that point, I think.

Woops. It sounded new, when I looked at the website, and having never heard of it...
Hrm. I don't think it can be that new, as I'm sure we were creating PDFs from XML some time ago. My memory is suspect, so I wouldn't like to hazard a guess as to when exactly and I'm not going fishing the log book for it. Definitely early this year, though.
