It is done exactly for that use. It is originally taken from the
latex2html part that I wanted to get out of the main processing.

Do you think that this interface is badly done and should be done
otherwise? It is documented in 'Bypassing normal formatting'.


As a side note, I am not sure that there is really a paradigm for 
texi2html tweaking... It is very ad-hoc, and I certainly didn't designed 
anything consciously when I added to the already existing interface done 
by Olaf.

It may be interesting, however if you could explain what paradigm you
have seen, such that in the future we stick to a given style.
