I've long advocated translating Rev to HTML/JavaScript/CSS as a web solution, and am in the middle of porting a large Rev project doing just that.
ToolBook took that route, and I felt they handled it in a fairly good way, certainly a cost-effective one. It's difficult to make a complete Rev->JS converter (hats off to the TileStack team if they're able to handle even just the HC token set), so instead the TB folks identified a number of tasks folks would most likely be interested in when writing for the web, then wrote a matching set of libraries in both TB and JS to make shortwork of either desktop or web deployment.
This of course limits what could be automatically translated, but at the same time makes it dirt simple to translate a lot of very useful things, like navigating between "cards" (pages), showing/hiding controls, displaying images, playing video, etc. Since TB was marketed mostly for building courseware, that audience's more focused needs make it a good fit for that type of translation.
