if no file is specified with -o in pandoc it goes to STDOUT, and you are using redir to redirect STOUT to the clipboard. At least that's how I understand it. Another scripting angle, esp. using Python or Ruby is just run the commands, save the file, and tell vim to open the file in a new buffer. Now that I've been playing, the redirect to the clipboard is actually even more useful, because you can use Marked2 or some other html converter/viewer to check things before loading your html up to go paste.
