Six months a year I am abroad.  I pay by the second for international
bandwidth.  HTML is redundant and costs me big money.  It also wastes
space on my drive.  (This is beyond the standardization issue which
is even more important.)   If people want html files they can be
sent as attachments with an htm extension and viewed in their 
browser.  That's why we have browsers.  And by the way, I code html
and have learned the hard way (complaints from visitors to my sites)
that browsers parse identical code differently, sometimes even 
mutilating the page.  So I am a firm believer in standards.
