 Well, I agree that XML is useful but I believe this sort of simple
 .html-->.xml conversion has few advantages because .html is
 simpler than .xml + .xsl + .dtd and many developers are familiar
 with HTML.

 So if we do so, I think we need to make clear the benefits.
 I personally think simplification and/or improving reusability
 can become an advantage, but since whether it makes editing easier
 or not depends on who edits it and how frequently it will be edited,
 it is not persuasive very much.
