I am a fan of this technique. I often go from paper/stickies to HTML. One cavaet: I don't care about standards at this stage and will happily use tables etc to quickly get a result. Sometimes I get a coder to knock-up a bit of Javascript if I need to demonstrate certain interactions. I'm planning to get my head around jQuery in order to remove this dependancy though. I then pass this to a front-end coder (XHTML/CSS/JS). I don't expect my code to ever published. One exception to this is the calss names I have chosen, which are human readable, semantically rich and enter into a shared product vocabulary between all stakeholders. To speed things up I have a small set of simple snippets which make HTML prototyping more efficient.
