Can cl-typesetting output to any of these formats in addition to PDF?
That's IMHO the wrong way around - the question should be which of these formats you can use as *input* to cl-typesetting [1]. The concept of typesetting doesn't really make sense for HTML output [2].
I think the basic idea for cl-typesetting is to have three layers:
input formats ==> typesetting engine ==> ouput formats sexp cl-typsetting cl-pdf tex-like postscript ... HTML ...
So if something is written in a cl-typesetting input format, it should be possible to get it in any of the output formats. Obviously it's currently pre-alpha, but certainly what's in the list above is planned.

I disagree. You can't actually do too much micro-setting, but if you target HTML-with-css, you can at least do typesetting in the large.
