Absolutely correct.
Since HTML <= 4.0 is *not* XML, it is best to treat it as an output
format, like PDF, TeX, RDF, Postscript, etc. -- in other words, first
produce your XML, then run it through a filter (such as a SAX-based
app) that does a down-translation to HTML syntax. If the XML document
contains the same element types as the HTML, the translation will be
very simple.
All the best,
David
