I agree with Ralf that taking over a commonly used target like
we do is a bad idea w.r.t. backward compatibility.  Still, if we
were to be picky about backward compatibility we would never add
new features.

I was hoping someone would come with a cunning plan that pleases
everybody.  I.e., a way to support html without breaking
existing packages.  I'm not convinced this is possible, but who
knows...  Otherwise I think we should go on and smooth the
transition the best we can.

Also, Ralf mentioned that many Gnome packages use `html', but I
haven't had the time to look what they use it for and what
happens to them with your patch.
