Two different audiences. Tranforming an arbitrary document into a Web version and a print version (two targets with very different characteristic) is likely to involve some reasonably sophisticated transformation. Once accomplished, it would be nice for "anyone" to be able to adjust things like font/size/style, page size (e.g. A4 vs. US letter), margins and such. I'm not sure if one language can provide sufficient rich transformations for the first group and sufficiently simple "style changes" for the second.
