It's definitely a good idea. An ODT uses XML, (just like e.g. DocBook) so direct HTML conversion should be possible with just a DTD, shouldn't it? Did you try the genuine (X)HTML Export (File > Export)? AFAIK there are several ODF-to-HTML tools available, e.g. this one http://opendocumentfellowship.com/projects/odftools I think, the HTML question is not about "finding the better/best format" but it's more about "offering an additional format", as Jean said. So in my eyes we would be fine offering a couple of (addtional) HTML formates (whole book and chapter wise?) for the User Guides like many of the Linux docs have done for years. My guess is, that the ODT should serve as Master and the HTML should be just one possible output format.
