I'm interested in this as well. At present I plan on handling it externally
to org-mode with some preprocessing before final org-export; but it would
be cool to have it be a built-in feature. Obviously it can be accomplished
manually with #+LaTeX: and #+HTML: sections, but some syntax sugar for it
would be great.
