Very much so.  Some of my initial principles were (1) no parts of speech
other than substantives (2) maximum compression without falling into
lexical or syntactic ambiguity, and (3) complete regularity.  I am a
syntax and morphology guy; that I am not much interested in phonology and
pragmatics is pretty obvious from the grammar, although I am awed by the
projects of conlangers that have elaborate systems of phonological rules
or entire cultural codes embedded in them.

I am writing the document in WordPerfect 10.  I just used the "Publish to
HTML" command in the File Menu, and uploaded the result to Geocities
without any changes.  According to the Geocities editor, there are a few
HTML errors in the code, but clearly nothing fatal.  Unfortunately,
though, the HTML that WordPerfect 10 produces is an unreadable (and hence
uneditable) scramble of largely unnecessarily detailed code.  I don't know
how the MS Word "Publish to HTML" command compares.
