I do agree with you. As to transforms, we have the example that
projectmallard.org is HTML which is built from Mallard. We also know
that yelp itself has a Mallard -> HTML transformation toolchain.

As per my previous email, it's the translation and packaging points
that I'm most concerned about. I don't think it hurts to give this a
shot and play around with it in a separate branch / PPA. We don't have
to ship it if we find that it causes problems.
