However, it may not allow format shifting because the MOBI "exploder" mobi2html does not work on files that use "Mobipocket hufdif compression" (mobigen -c2). Most DRM-free MOBI files use simple compression, but it is unknown what fraction of DRM-laden files use hufdif.

It would probably be ok for mobi2html to add support for hufdif (particularly since there are some DRM-free MOBIs using it), but first someone has to work out how to decompress such files.
There are plenty of people including the author of FBReader that would like to have the answer to that question.
