I gave this a very brief whirl, with the dev versions of emacs, org,
elnode, and org-ehtml, and running the test server on simple.org as
described in the README. Every time I edited a block and clicked "save",
it just deleted the whole block. I got these errors in
~/.elnodelogs/elnode-error:

I'd be happy to mess with this further if it would be helpful.
