I very much like the idea of an epub3 output format for TW5.

As others have noted, the epub3 format itself can be fairly simple (plus the 
general rule that it is always orders of magnitude easier to generate a 
particular format than it is to parse/accept that format). We already have a 
JSZip plugin that can handle the creation of a ZIP file from a bunch of 
individual files.

One aspect that particularly interests me is the production of redundant static 
pages to reproduce the functionality of a dynamic experience. For example, 
consider a table of a few columns of data that we’d like to publish such that 
the user can click on a column heading to sort by it. The usual approach would 
be a small JS plugin that rearranges the DOM when the column header is clicked. 
Instead, we could pre-generate static HTML representations of every combination 
of sorting for the table, and then construct links between them. So, if the 
initial rendering is ordered by first name, and the user clicks on the column 
for the second name, they would actually be navigating to a different rendering 
of the data sorted by second name.

I believe that this approach could go a long way: a sort of flipbook approach 
to user interface design.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
