It does not sound like the goal is device-dependent rendering, though. This is exactly parallel to Reader Mode, which is a temporary user toggle. The goal of PDF is still to produce documents that mirror print-ready layouts, something that HTML has never really accomplished. Whether you want to consume the documents that way will now be up to you.
