Well, the usefulness of that filter is highly objective. For me it's 
useless, since it exports less than the ascii export filter. Why less? 
Try exporting any table - you'll get nothing, not even the text from 
the table is exported, it's just ignored. Furthermore try to insert a 
new text frame - its contents will be appended at the very end of the 
html file completely neglecting its placement in the original document. 
To see all those and a few others try exporting the following two page 
document to html : http://www.automatix.de/~zack/test.kwd . So between 
dissapearing and missplaced text I don't think there's a lot that could 
be broken.

Not in the best mood or have you been watching a lot of drama lately? 
You sounded like my fix would cause serious regressions and cost you 
days of forced work. In fact it fixed probably 5 out of 10 cases where 
the bug occurred and didn't cause ANY regressions. If something doesn't 
break anything and still fixes some occurrences of a bug - it's still a 
fix albeit not perfect. Anyway, I fixed it properly in the cvs.
