I don't think this is possible without some major hacking/conversion/filtering. Biblatex has many more entry types and fields than bibtex. I've found that most of the older bibtex utils (bibtools, bibtex2html) choke on my biblatex files. Even if biblatex2html did read biblatex data, its output, I believe, is limited to bibtex styles, which cannot handle more complex formats. Many scientific journals require bibtex formats. But many humanities disciplines have more complicated bibliographical requirements that bibtex cannot handle. Best, Matt
