Basically you could try your idea as LPUB produces all the images you need. Take a small model and do the HTML/CSS for it.
I am also toying around with thoughts on LPUB and making it better, see my post a few days ago.
I agree with you that at first LPUB is strange. But then you can tweak it, if you do the process step by step you end up with a clean file. You can keep your standard settings for assembly/steps/fonts etc and copy it into every LPUB doc you do.
LPUB tends to mix up the META commands it adds to the file, but once you know how it is parsing you can remove additional lines. Especially with some positioning changes, LPUB is not always cleaning up the original setting. Leaving fragments of meta-commands in effectively voiding your change. This need to be changed manually. I think a small cleanup routing to keep steps /call-outs tidy would do wonders!
I would nevertheless love to see how an alternative would do the job.
