Selectively Converting RAW to jpg within the same folder in LR

Question

Not all I shoot needs to stay in RAW but it ought to stay in the same folder. Is there a batch or action process that can be performed whereby I can, say out of a 100 image shoot, keep 10 of them as RAW, the rest convert to jpg and all reside in the same folder. Is there a way to do this in LR where it will automatically update the existing folder, delete the unwanted RAW files and keep track of the jpgs? I'm trying to avoid stepping out to Bridge, perform the selective conversion, then be forced to reimport the "new" jpgs into LR.
Thanks,
Bill

Start with Bridge, do the things that LR doesn't presently do effectively, and that way avoid the primitive I/O features of LR--hopefully some of these workarounds will get fixed in V 1.1.
For that matter, if you have Bridge CS3, you can do virtually everything that the LR Develop module will presently do in Bridge2/ACR 4 faster than in LR (because you will avoid the LR Library and I/O bottleneck, and be able to use the better, more ergonomic, configurable UI in ACR 4)then import into LR Library. Any touch ups needed can then be routinely done, and you can use the other modules in LR for printing, etc, if those are now part of your workflow.
