[Xerte-dev] Re: 1.9 stuff

1) Have a HTML5 template separate from the existing one
2) Put a load of if else logic into the xerte code to deal with exporting, and playing (i think exporting is a distant second to

The plan is to have a specific mobile URL, which relies on someone knowing who will access what and from what device. Which seems a little counter-intuitive.
