Ha, this is in fact the main problem with LaTeX: it is not really
a "document preparation system", it is a "scientific paper preparation
system".  Any other kind of document, and LaTeX needs help.

This could be addressed in two ways:

1. Writing a "better" (i.e., more generic, not aimed towards articles
and books) LaTeX exporter.

2. Writing a ConTeXt exporter (see
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page).

I could (and would like to) do either or both, but I'd probably have to
move to Mars to have longer days...
