We need to pick a nice name that doesn't conflict with existing well-established names. For now let's just call it the newhtml exporter. With the patch out the door and open for review, we can work out the docstrings, compilation issues and naming conventions etc. Honestly speaking I have not spent much time on fixing those. The exporter does support 2 backends - HTML and ODT, btw. > >> 2. All new html backend re-implemented as a plugin to (1). >> 3.

I will give highest priority to addressing the regressions to HTML exporter. If you have tried the new exporter, a simple note saying that it doesn't remove or alter existing functionality is also a great help. This gives that much more confidence that the patch does work adveritzed. More than anything else, you would have your say on what interests you the most and accelerating the process of integration.
