Just for clarification: The technical part of creating a new HTML 
version is not time-consuming at all. Assuming the XML does not contain 
syntax errors it takes a single command to generate the HTML version 
and then a few minutes to uploaded the new version.

The time-consuming part is the verification of the new HTML version, 
i.e. when we make a new release we want this release to be as good as 
possible and better than the previous release.

That's very true.
