This is not really apropos your question, but what the heck... you may also want to support XML-to-XML conversion via XSLT. In a previous role I helped develop the HR-XML Staffiing Exchange Protocol, which, in part, provides a standard schema for resumes. I'm not sure what kind of support the protocol has in real life, but based on the HR-XML membership (Monster, HotJobs, DICE, as well as PeopleSoft, SAP, Oracle) I assume there will be some employers that will accept an uploaded resume in this schema.
Now, convincing your HR person/interviewer that you really don't need to send a resume as a .pdf or .htm (let alone .doc)... good luck with that!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
