Yes, I almost thought I was there using OpenOffice and its HTML
Export, it did manage quite well but there were some oddities in its
handling of border styles.  Since I specifically wanted good control
over border styles I decided to have another look around.

It's also a bit clumsy having to use Export all the time to save the
file, there's no way of getting it back directly and it didn't seem
possible to save as a Writer file as well so that was a bit of a
problem too.

However the alpha version of kompozer 0.80 seems to be doing what I
want, I haven't managed to break it or crash it yet.  :-)
