FYI, Jonathan Kew, the author of XeTeX, wrote an iPhone version of TeX
(or probably XeTeX). When you turned the phone on its side, it ran TeX
again with the new margins. I don’t think the app was ever released,
but it is as close as I’ve heard about to a tex MIME viewer. He did
the work for http://rivervalleytechnologies.com.

In other words, don’t convert, make LaTeX a first-class MIME
Content-Type.
This<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Style_Semantics_and_Specification_Language>
was a nice design. A statically typed version would have been even
better.
XSL was the right idea, but a strange execution. Should have just
used a functional programming language, like
this<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HaXml>.
Building a good set of multi-target (page) flow objects is an enormous
job, like making a PDF implementation or a XML/HTML browser engine.
One could always wrap LaTeX in a statically typed language to make it
better behaved, e.g. HaTeX<hackage.haskell.org/package/HaTeX>. Which
is about how I feel about LaTeX. ☺

Interesting, but why not build the site in PDF (possibly with
alternative versions for desktops and mobiles)?
Also, it didn’t work for me:
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 72 --mag 1+0/72 --dpi 72
cmr6
(see the transcript file for additional information)
kpathsea: pipe(): Function not implemented
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.)

Interesting. Obviously you didn't use latex2html for this. Did you use
latexml?
I've used latexml as part of a kindle conversion process that goes via
epub.
Cheers
