What's wrong with rendering to HTML?

You often share with people who want to play with the inputs or the code, while at the same time you want them to share what your choice of inputs outputted.

right, so what's the issue with sharing a notebook (code) and rendered html (results)?

If someone starts playing with the inputs, they're going to lose the outputs you've created unless you have a saved rendered copy anyways

Depends what you mean by "whats wrong?" Conceptually, absolutely nothing. In practice, many of the folks we are talking about have been bitten by mismatched files already. Why add one more set of files to juggle?
