I didn’t read all that now. Regarding uploading, the way this usually goes is that you submit a PR against the website. But I’m not sure it will be accepted if the process cannot be automated so that the PDFs stay in sync with any future changes in the spec without manual intervention. In my opinion the way to produce quality PDF is through LaTeX. Maybe something can be based on adrdox to produce useful LaTeX, that would be an interesting project. — Bastiaan.
