Yes, this would be very hard. Currently, we base our HTML importer on our 
XML importer class, which means that the HTML must be well-formed. Writing a 
parser for HTML isn't high on my priority list, though, esp. with all of the 
nastiness that the browsers allow you to do. XHTML deprecates a lot of the 
tags (yay!) and is *very* strict about what can appear where 
(well-formedness).

It shouldn't be too hard to propegate a more-descriptive error message 
upstream, however.
