This would not be fair. I have no interest in any of the other 3
formats; why should I work on those? Nor would I do a good job of them
if I were, since I have no experience using them.
The fair thing to do, is have the person "championing" each format, be
responsible, for putting together the sample for "their" format.
I'll be happy to put together the minimalist html version.

There is the remaining issue first, of "what document layout shall we
use as the example?"

I think this should be the responsibility of "The Secretary", or
possibly our web admin(s). But I would be willing to do that
additional work if they are not. It will just take longer if I do it.
