I checked out HtmlSpanner briefly. It's no replacement for a WebView but
I would consider it for simple dynamic HTML. Although if the content was
static, I think I would still prefer to build the Spanneds by hand. It may
also be worth mentioning that the source directory hasn't been updated in
about a year and a half.

  I'm still digging into the WordPress codebase but they do have some
interesting WebView usages, including one implementation
<https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/blob/c20e0ba7e399474333f54fd440aa82cdeb16f0fe/WordPress/src/main/java/org/wordpress/android/ui/reader/views/ReaderWebView.java>
that manages a custom view for fullscreen video.
