My interest in exporting Org-mode to more formats is quite limited. I
am not using Org-mode to write books. And if I want to produce a book,
moving away from the fantastic toolset for LaTeX available under Emacs
to something that limits my possibilities to a subset of LaTeX is a
loss, not a gain.
Personally, I am not often in a situation where I need to produce many
different output formats of a document. The only major application for
this is documentation, for example of computer programs produce
documentation. There are many systems that can do this, for example
POD (developed for the perl documentation), TeXInfo, muse. I don't see
why Org-mode needs to be able to do the same.
The one thing I would be interested in is indeed to produce one very
general format that would allow people to do with it whatever they
want. My feeling is that such a format could be based on the current
HTML exporter because it does a complete structural analysis of an
Org-mode document, and the output could be some kind of semantic-only
HTML, or XML, or whatever. I have not taken any steps toward
implementing this, and right now I don't see it happening.
