Excellent --- 10 out of 10 for ingenuity.
A lot of changes to LaTeX2HTML can be implemented this way,
without requiring edits in existing scripts or packages.

However you do have to ignore messages from LaTeX about
unknown class-options --- just harmless irritations.


># ... Maybe this should be done in html.sty.

Again correct; but we need indications as to what is the best syntax.

 1. the command name probably should be  \htmlkeywords
        to avoid clashing with other uses of \keyword
        (e.g. AMS document-classes already use \keywords
        which is dangerously close but perhaps should be commandeered anyway;
viz.
        sub do_cmd_keywords{&do_cmd_htmlkeywords(@_)}

 2.  What should be the scope of $KEYWORDS ?
        Every page in an HTML document ?
        Just the 1st page ?
        Just the page on which the command happens to fall ?

 3.  What about other <META .... > tags ?
        There can be a general command:

        \newcommand{\htmlmeta}[2]{}  (in html.sty)

        But how should it be implemented in Perl?
        Only certain key-words are valid, but values are rather arbitrary.
        Again there are questions of scope.


I don't want to impose anything; but wish to hear views from those
who make frequent use of extra <META .... > tags.

        Cheers,
