Could be… On the other hand, in post XHTML era, the elements are usually in
lower-case. Thus we should stick with it and use lowercase HTML elements anyway.
I think `startsWith("<html>")` covers the scenario well.
Although neither `<html>` nor `<body>` are required, I prefer to always add
them. These two elements don't add much overhead, do they?

I don't think it's needed. If you want the instructions rendered as HTML,
you'll have to format them as HTML.
Forcing HTML rendering on plain text which highlights a couple of words with
`<b>` will render the text unreadable: line ends are ignored by HTML, so you'll
have to use `<br>` element to force line breaks. (A similar thing often happens
in javadoc where a blank line is added as if to start a new paragraph, but
without the explicit `<p>` element the text continues on the same line /
paragraph.)
It is possible to wrap such instructions into `<html><body><pre>` but what
stops you from doing it explicitly if it's what you want? (Note, however, the
`<pre>` element disables line wrapping.)
I'd rather keep it simple.
