Just to state the obvious, it sure would be cool if the work could be saved somewhere at that point in time when the work is still "reversible" -- i.e. at a stage where it could be (in theory) resubmitted to DP or similar process for "another pass" or as a foundation for future work 10 years from now when we might have some better and agreed-upon file format for representing books than HTML.
My friend, what you say is obviously and incontrovertibly true. But PG is uninterested, and DP is unwilling, so what can you do?
