Can’t agree more on the advantages of having HTML reports.

For the same reason we have built a webkit based reporting module [1] for
tryton too. The default implementation uses genshi templates, but there is
an example of using Jinja [2]. Jinja2 templates would be a standard of the
module soon [3]. In addition to HTML, the engine produces a PDF too using 
the webkit engine.
