Good catch!
I am not too concerned about portability. We already have
(load "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/htmlize-1.56/htmlize.el")
which is as bad as it can go.

publish.sh already takes care about not re-exporting unchanged files.

As for re-evaluating, I see it as a minimal control for validity of WORG
examples. If necessary, we may provide an alternative publish-local.sh
to make things easier for testing locally.
