You would initially think so, but it's actually far more complex
than that, because you really have to cope with detecting and fixing
"errors" in the html, like dealing with both legal and illegal
missing </..> closures etc.
So much HTML that is "out-there" is broken, and many automatic
tools produce broken HTML!

Just one of the many problems with HTML in general, and another
contributer to it's unsuitability for use as rich text mark-up for
email ;-)
