Thanks again for the suggestion, Jim. I just added this to the roadmap for August:
* Improve LaTeX support, needed for any serious effort in mathematics and related fields. Contact for advice, Michael Kohlhase at Bremen  
His [http://kwarc.info/ group] has state-of-the-art tools for LaTeX to XML/HTML support and are the current maintainers/developers of Bruce Miller's [http://trac.mathweb.org/LaTeXML/ LaTeXML] 

As far as I can tell, the roadmap is a plan/wishlist for the work Fabricatorz is doing, in collaboration with the community.
