I second that. HTML.pm won't help much for any "big"
project, mostly because it doesn't manage in-line tags. This
means that things like:

<p>Independance day is on the 4<sup>th</sup> of July</p>

Turns into 3 msgids:

1: Independance day is on the 4
2: th
3: of July

This is awkward at best, but worse is that it won't help
translation in many languages.

Fixing HTML.pm turned out to be too complicated if you want
it to work on non-well-formed HTML. And if your HTML is
well-formed, you're almost up to using XHTML, which, on the
other hand, works pretty well (for me, anyway).
