Putting the content within formatting independent markup is obviously the right way.
But having a single layout language that could generate both html/css and pdf would be nice as well (and not contradictory). I understand that given the very different nature of the output there are a tremendous amount of issues and competing interests involved. But the problem of converting 'something' to both html and pdf is certainly common enough. To a certain extent things like http://www.re.be/css2xslfo/ seem to want to address that.
