You've got your priorities backwards.  It is mandatory that the HTML look 
like HTML.  It is desirable that more recent browsers be able to render it 
in ways that look like what AbiWord renders.

Insofar as we're using CSS-like properties, this shouldn't be that hard.  
See the attached document.  

Any browser which still insists on putting extra vertical whitespace between 
the paragraphs hasn't implemented CSS properly.  Too bad for them.
