Well, my view is maybe from 29000 feet, so I'm not sure I can see any
better than you can: the <pre> suggestion was because clearly anything
in a <pre> should not be transformed any further by the HTML exporter;
I'm not sure whether you can make similar (but perhaps somewhat weaker)
statements outside of a <pre>.

Yes, the way that is done today is draconian: delete the thing. If it's
not there, it cannot be interpreted. So off with its head! Dead men tell
no tales :-)

You are right: it is a generic problem - writing HTML examples to be
published with LaTeX would lead to the same difficulties.
