That approach works as long as you don't have very much content that falls outside the supported character set. If you do, it is pretty much a lost cause, because you'll run up against book size limitations from the two-order-of-magnitude HTML bloat. At that point, it actually would make sense to make the book be KF8-exclusive rather than making it so big that it is unmanageable, even if you have the technical expertise to build such a monster.
