It may not be.  I've made standards-compliant courseware in the past (a 
while ago; the data format was XML <g>), and it wasn't as bad as I'd 
thought.  With so much work on the modern standards I'd imagine they're 
far better documented and based on more common conventions than they 
were in yesteryear.

But maybe the key question is: are your customers asking for LMS 
interoperability specifically?

In some segments it can make the difference between being a contender 
and not being considered at all.

But I've seen many other segments that seem to have abandoned hope of a 
standards-driven world of interoperable courseware, quite happy to 
kludge together whatever they need to eventually arrive at a means of 
tracking assessment.

If no one's asking you for LMS compatibility, there would seem to need 
to bother.

If PDF suffices, it's certainly easy to do in LC.
