By making that selection very simple, and
providing a way to apply it automatically to
many files without repeating it for them.

Yes; the telepathic interface isn't ready yet.  ;-)
But there are many ways to specify where to
split, and the simplest is by format, as in:

[HTMLStyles]
HeadTitle=Split Title Contents
Heading1=Split Title Contents
Heading2=Split Title Contents
Heading3=Split Title Contents

The User's Guide, par. 18.2.1, "Designating 
split points", lays out all the methods.  You
can do some in the ini file with a simple text 
editor, and the rest in Frame.  No other UI.

>and conditional text to mask unwanted text. 

That's the usual method whn single-sourcing.
You can choose which conditional text to show
either by automatically importing a template
that affects *only* the conversion, not your
source files, or with Mif2Go settings, as in
par. 5.4.1, "Applying condition Show/Hide 
settings".  Way simpler than the RH GUI.

>Does mif2go make either of those actions unnecessary?

No, of course not; it just makes them a lot
easier to do, automatically, very quickly, 
while producing extremely clean HTML.
