I was thinking in various directions (somewhat loosely related): 1) Their stylesheets are very nice and in particular they are “responsive”, that is adapt to various screen sizes (like reading on the phone). So we could imagine we “steal” their CSS to have better quality HTML output in TeXmacs. 2) TeXmacs could be even better than their pipeline for this particular task. I wonder if importing from arxiv in TeXmacs and then converting to HTML (with maybe some improved styling in their direction) would give a better result than their LateXml based strategy. 3) When we produce HTML in TeXmacs one could use the strategy of MathJax to do typography in HTML/CSS, so without relying on MathML or images or MathJax. Since TeXmacs already computes the positioning of the boxes we could just output appropriate HTML to reproduce TeXmacs math typography. I’m quite impressed by the quality of HTML output nowadays. Seems that PDF could be replaced by HTML as output format.
