I've updated NEWS.28.html again, and IMHO it looks even better now.
I also discovered that the HTML files are readable on mobile whereas the
text files aren't. The file was downloaded instead of viewed in-browser
on the phones I tried. So that's nice.
If there are no objections, I will go ahead and update the link as
suggested above. Feedback is still welcome of course, and I will do my
best to fix any issues that crop up.

perfect given our current NEWS file format, where the markup is not
unambiguous.
Take this example from etc/NEWS.28:
