There two main issues in moving beyond pdf.One, probably minor, is that there are larger constraints. Some people need their work to be somewhere "understood" by their organization. This is a bit less relevant for conferences than for journals, but still an issue. The other is that some bit of a research paper can lend to formalization. But there is a lot of variability. In some case you are closer to what web languages can represent. E.g.: a finding in RDF, some algorithm shown in JavaScript,... But what is somebody is publishing a description of an information systems ? It may get so far from a standard way to talk about think that you won't gain much with a structured representation. pdf + other technologies, when it applies, could be a good idea, though.
I can't quite make out the core of the issues that you are trying to describe. So, from I understand:
We could maybe at least give this HTML thing a try. And, later worry about semantic alignments?
IMHO, there is no compelling reason to research and try PDF + other technologies, when we have HTML+RDF + other technologies already in place and staring right at us.
