Midgard cannot do that, well, maybe with filetemplates, but they are not
exactly pure HTML.
What you could do, however, is to have a host and an active root page
that read the html files and eval() them.
ie. (pseudo code):
<?
$file = readfile($midgard->uri);
eval($file);
?>
this way you can use the midgard construct <[]> and &();
Note that I'm not talking about efficiency ;)
