It seems a good idea but should consider also the ideas: * Character set, if you want to convert to ASCII, or other character encodings that the document to be converted might use. * Option for including links (possibly in footnotes, and/or section numbers for links to other parts of the same document). * Option for to find any <link rel="alternate"> in case there is already the plain text version (but you can also disable it if you want to force converting the HTML instead). (This seems unnecessary for the remote service, but if it has it then it might be useful when using locally) Is good that you have the source codes, though. You might want to run it locally, instead of having to use the remote service to make such a conversion.
