I think it's harder than you think. There are already format shifting programs that exist. Calibre has some and then there is also LRFTools. But these don't do a very good job shifting the format.

I don't know maybe your right, it's been a while since I looked at lrf2lrs so maybe taking lrs to html is not so difficult.

I guess the real point I'm questioning is there is already a demand for LRF to html/MOBI/ePUB, there are many LRF exclusive formats here on MobileRead. Yet there are no good tools to shift the format. LRFTools does a decent job but it loses much of the formatting in the process
