I really like the idea and the initiative. But isn't plain (semantic) HTML already an "open Web" approach to decentralisation? Why can't we stick with this rather than create another format?
I also wish that publicly-funded broadcasters (like the BBC) would take some initiative here and support or release open-source tools for publishing. Presumably they have custom-workflows, proprietary code bases, or layers of organisational cruft and inertia that stop them from doing this.
The BBC does have an excellent Journalism skills website:
