Hi, I'm involved in the organization of a couple of conferences and workshops. You do need a template, as without this it's hard to have homogenous submissions (even for simple things as page, or html equivalent, length). Other than this, the main issue I could see is that proceedings may require pdf anyway. But we could make a partial step and ask for abstract in xhtml+rdfa, to be included in the online program, and full papers in xthml+RDFa as an optional submission. It's a small step, but a first step. I'm very short on time, but if there is a template, I can see if the idea finds some interest. I have to admit that asking for PDFs sounds a bit retro!
