I agree that exporting to html is not a very useful option partly 
because it does not (can not?) produce easily maintainable html code. 
The fact the code probably works is less important than that 
maintaining/editing the code is very difficult.

Should we ask on the users list if anyone uses export to html and if so 
what is their opinion?
