Now I *know* you're joking !  Have you actually *tried* that?  And actually
displayed the result, or, even worse, looked at the resulting HTML -- it's
barely stardard, has huge amount of superfluous junk (including MS-only font
definitions), and has no structure at all.

Sorry, that's an insane idea (I've been down that route *very* painfully not
long ago).
