DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: TeX/LaTeX application

I was looking in a way to use LaTeX under DSL and noticed a latex2rtf myDSL extension. I am not very familiar with this latex2rtf application but I think that using pdflatex + xpdf would be a more simple and natural way to handle .tex files. Is there a particular reason why this was done that way, or would you consider interesting/feasable to make a pdflatex myDSL extension ?
