In order to get any HTML out of it, you need to set up either MediaWiki and/or a replacement parser; not to mention the delicate things enWP folks did with template magic, which requires setting up ParserFunctions - these might even depend on whatever version is currently running live. That's why static dumps (or ?action=render output) are the thing you need when you want to create offline versions or things like Mobipocket Wikipedia (which is my actual goal with the static dump).
