I agree with Tim's point about avoiding markup, that was one of the points I 
made in my message.

The only thing I can't comment on is the HTML thing, I never used LibreOffice 
or OpenOffice for my HTML. I normally use a plain text editor for that. If LO 
doesn't produce clean HTML code, we could probably find a converter or HTML 
cleanup utility, or get a few people to help convert.
