I think this is the best option; anything which simplifies the process
of adding snippets for users is preferable.

Do you know which HTML tags are guaranteed to be converted though? For
example, <em> and <i> don't work, while <li> produces a complete mess.

Here's a demonstration of the problems, from flamenco-notation.ly
(http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1&id=409):

* * a golpe symbol to indicate a slap on the guitar body with the nail
of the ring finger * * an arrow to indicate (the direction of) strokes
* * different letters for fingering (@qq{p}: thumb, @qq{i}: index
finger, @qq{m}: middle finger, @qq{a}: ring finger and @qq{x}: little
finger) * * 3- and 4-finger rasgueados; stroke upwards with all
fingers, ending with an up- and down using the index finger * *
abanicos: strokes (in tuples) with thumb (down), little and index
finger (both up). There's also an abanico 2 where middle and ring
finger are used instead of the little finger. * * alza pua: fast
playing with the thumb
