Perhaps, but would doing so actually convey any benefit?
Here are four potential benefits from using something like html as an
intermediate representation for our docs:
(1) We could use our browser to view other people's (html) docs
(2) Other people could view our docs in their html browser
(3) We could use html-producing tools to make stuff for our browser
(4) We could feed our docs to html-consuming tools
If implement only a small part of html, then we basically lose benefits
(1) and (3), because our browser won't be featureful enough.
Implementing a full-enough subset to actually be useful for these
purposes is probably quite hard.
If we also _extend_ html -- as we would probably want to do, to retain
all the benefits of info (like whole-document searching) -- then we
_also_ lose benefits (2) and (4).
So... what's the point, again?
