  Each of my blog entries is stored in HTML, but not as a complete page.
Bascially, my HTML parser doesn't have to bother with <HTML>, <HEAD> (and
the associated tags that appear there), and the <BODY> tag itself---it only
has to deal with the tags that I use (<P>, <BLOCKQUOTE>, <DL>, <UL>, etc).
But who's to say you even have to convert everything?  You see a <TITLE>? 
Skip over that.  You can tailor both the parser and the ouput to how you do
things.
