My wild guess is that outputting valid XHTML directly with texi2any is
probably the simplest way to go.  This is actually probably a
prerequisite for generating epub anyway.  I recall somebody else wanting
XHTML too.

I could have a try, but before I would like to have an XHTML
command-line offline validator, is there something like that existing?
