My vote would be for separate files that could also be published as a
monolithic pdf file. I know the possibility of publishing multiple files
as a single book exists in muse, but how would one do that with
org-mode? Is there a directive to publish separate html files and a
monolithic pdf file simultaneously (perhaps via #+INCLUDE directives)?
