The former. There are basically subroutines that are called to insert
HTML code. They in turn check if the code is valid according to the
DTD.

Yes indeed. The solution must be something that is concept based. E.g.,
the LaTeX parsing engine first determines what is wanted (e.g.,
chapter, bold face, verbatim, etc.) and then the rendering engine must
decide what code to generate. IMHO, it is important to separate the two
much more than they are now (at the moment there is almost no
distinction).
