DLang Spec rewrite (?)

[Borden]

Good afternoon, all,

I would still like to compile the D Lang Spec into EPUB (and 
possibly other formats) but, as we discussed in these threads:

http://forum.dlang.org/thread/bsbdpjyjubfxvmecwhjl@forum.dlang.org
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/uzdngvjzexukbgkxdzpi@forum.dlang.org

having the D Lang Specification written in DDoc macros is making 
it extremely difficult to work with.

I ask, therefore, what opposition would there be to me rewriting 
the DLang Spec files into another format that will be easier to 
parse and compile for the website, PDF, Latex, eBook and other 
formats? If the answer is 'minimal', 'go ahead' or 'it's your 
funeral', then my follow-up question is 'what format would be the 
easiest to write, debug and maintain?'

For greater clarity, I am NOT proposing to rewrite the 
DDoc-generated library documentation or any other pages outside 
of the spec. In the makefile, they are defined as the files 
covered in $(SPEC_ROOT).

With regards,
