Then I disagree even more

Why? HTML plus option to download pdf is bad?
-
With HTML it is always harder to know what is in the paper, because paper and homepage float together

I will always prefer a standalone doc that i can simply save to my dropbox. Journals that force me through crap html to get my pdf annoy me
-
Useful points.

Indeed, crap HTML is a problem. Perfectly possible to have single document HTML self-contained like a PDF, and other options

Here's an example of that, it even looks a pdf

HTML is by definition more open. As is plain tex files. Compared to a compiled PDF.
