I have decided to take the maintainership of KWord's HTML filter.
A first new version is already in the CVS.

At first, I will work on the export filter, as it was supposed to work. I have \
already removed the old code completely (Remember: it is still in the CVS, if someone \
really needs it!).

As for the import filter, it has never imported HTML files, so I think it is not a \
priority to "fix" it. It will give me more time to understand how KHtml works. \
However, I am well aware that many people would like a working HTML import filter.

Feel free. There is no maintainer (I only bugfixed it in Trysil,
and apparently someone (or me) broke it later).

A rewrite is most definitely needed.

Don't bother with that code, IMHO.

Right - but the parser is what you might want to reuse.
