[Excuse Ben, for answering in European time (while you're sleeping)]

No! Probably not at all.

I see the very big potential use quite differently:

Many of us are in academics where we are supposed to produce
presentations and "papers".  The modern ones among us (:-) ;-))
may use Sweave to do both of this.

Hence: If Ben's tool "works", we now can pretty quickly put our
presentations, e.g., from  UseR!2007, into the R-wicki without
much extra work.

This seems a tremendously nice potential!
But then, as Philippe, I haven't found time yet to try it out...

Martin
