Re: ox-html.el removal

Dear Carsten,

I certainly support your position.  And if *anybody's* wishes should
be honoured, I would think yours should be at the top of that list,
along with the wishes of the other (at least) 4 copyright holders' of
ox-html.el.

Cheers,
Jay

These files were brought into the Org-mode repository, marked as GPL from the start, so there are no formal issues including them in 8.0 in their current form.  Wether ox-odt.el should be moved to contrib as per Achims suggestion I don't know.   I would object moving ox-html.el, it contains a lot of variable definitions, documentation strings and code I and others wrote, even if you have made the interface with org-elemets.
