It may help to preemptively address concerns here. Does anyone have a
HTML+CSS(+RDFa) template that looks exactly like the LNCS-formatted
PDFs? Can we show that papers using this template:
- look consistent with each other (follow the LNCS typesetting instructions)
- look the same as the PDF counterparts
- look the same in any reader
- look the same on screen and printed
- can be read both online and offline
- have the same or smaller file size
- make it easy to share with others (all in one file?)

Can LaTeX to HTML be achieved easily with this template? Or at least is
it as easy yo write this HTML as it is to write in LaTeX?

I feel like this thread warrants a "manifesto" with a backing github
repo where everybody interested can chip in.

The core of your concerns were addressed over the past few years in different ways on this mailing list. When some posed the situation as a "technological" problem, I've created some templates and LNCS and ACM styles:

Reached out to OCs, supervisors, and authors. They all have a part in this. Even wrote "manifestos":

How about we try to solve a different problem? The one that I've posed: will SW/LD conferences encourage the community to eat their own dogfood for "papers"? We can certainly improve on whatever needs to be improved over time. The problem is that, if SW/LD technologies are not even welcome to share scientific knowledge at these conferences, it is irrelevant to worry about the technological comparisons.

We have a Social Problem 101. Period.
