Great idea. imho we definitivly should do that. Maybe we also could make 
clear that
1) it's not that difficult to port QML to HTML5
2) to get a HTML5 canvas backend done for Qt similar to what broadway 
does in GTK
3) Calligra is highly modular and making it easy to add new 
user-interfaces (desktop vs
mobile, (Classic) static vs (Plasma) active, QWidget vs QML, C++ vs 
HTML5, ...) was a
design goal.
4) Calligra is already optimized for mobile (different form-factors, 
performance, UI vs
logic separation) use and Calligra is *already* there!
6) We are better then any competition in that field and that is a fact.
