If PG were able to easily accept a txt file now and the html version (and other versions later) not only would readers get some books a year earlier, but we could probably save some efforts that die and get lost somewhere between txt complete and html complete.

It doesn't. In fact, "extracting" works from DP earlier was a big push I made a couple of years ago. At that time, such two stage (or other great-than-one stage) output was something that didn't fit well with the workflow. Maybe that's something that could be revisited. It's important to not double the effort involved at the final posting phase (whitewashing) through such a two stage process. But there are several good ways of insuring this, which could be incorporated with the process. There is definitely flexibility. -- Greg
