Sure, because that is what it is in LaTeX.
There is no difference, except that LaTeX prefers you to put in the
brackets, as a matter of style to unambiguaously state the intention.

Wrong. Check your version of LaTeX if these are not producing
equivalent .dvi output.
LaTeX2HTML will recognise that the two are equivalent,
but still produces a ``missing brackets'' warning.
\cal is *not* a LaTeX command.
(It's not in Lamport's blue book, nor in the LaTeX Companion.)
It is a TeX command, that happens to work when TeX is the engine for
translation of LaTeX source. There is no a-priori reason why it
should work in LaTeX2HTML, which is not based upon TeX as its main
translation engine.

Sorry.
You could write a simple Perl script to do it,
or an emacs find/replace using a regular expression.
Hope this helps,
