Conversly,
if the output is pristine HTML, I see no reason to
refuse it.

You can
create lousy, unhelpful HTML with the freest of tools,
Emacs. ANd you can create helpful content, WAP and cell phone
accesible not graphical pure HTML pages with a proprietary editor.
Lets not
get overtly political and start refusing offers of
help in good faith, shall we? God, this is a far cry from the
early
days of the FSF.
