    There is no support for (at least)
    div    -- should at least initiate a new paragraph
    style    -- should at least be trimmed out
    tt    -- \textbf
    big    -- \large
    small    -- \small
    kbd    -- \sffamily, perhaps
    dfn    -- \textit
    var    -- \sffamily, perhaps
    sub    -- \textsuperscript, or in math context, \sup
    sup    -- \textsuperscript, or in math context, \sup
    th    -- at least support, probably format too
    caption    -- at least support
    tbody    --
    thead    --
    colgroup    --
    col    -- at least support width attribute
    style    -- at least ignore

      I've put in the advised support for the tt,big,small,kbd,dfn and var tags.  I guess I'm not as big an HTML expert as I thought, because I've never heard of some of these tags.  But, I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to go look up the documentation at www.w3c.org.  Some of these tags could be quite complicated to implement (especially the table-related ones...scary).   But I'd like some idea of what people would like for the STYLE and DIV tags.  I mean, there's the "do practically" nothing idea, and then there's "do exactly what it should", which is much harder.
