I'm not sure I understand enough what you're describing to know if
it's useful.  The current code we have does generate HTML (and text)
versions of `.org` descriptions, and what is missing is changes in the
code which make it possible to refresh those files when the `.org` has
*not* changed (e.g. because the code that builds the HTML and text has
changed).
