OK. I think that would be very useful indeed. I guess there are two
ways forward with this.
- We try to modify the HTML output routine so that we can simply set a
switch which output format it is going to be. I think that is going to
be hard, because the switch would have to be tested in many many
places.
- We copy the org-export-as-html routine and then modify it to remove
all the extra formatting junk I have in there (which was born not out
of desire to be abstract, but just out of the wish "I would like to
look at this thing in a web browser..."). This would have the
advantage that all the parsing and structure information is there for
you to use, but we would still have an independent and possibly more
compact routine.

Go right ahead. Should I delay putting XOXO code into org.el then?
