;-)
Nevertheless it pointed me to an error in the logic for handling
\mathrm within the 'Simple Math' framework used by LaTeX2HTML.
This, and \mathit \mathbf \boldsymbol \textrm \textit \textbf
are the few macro-names that can be used, without causing an image
to be generated.
However my implementation was faulty.
It is now fixed and the revised code will be committed later this
evening.

In which version of LaTeX was \textsuperscript introduced ?
Or does it need a special package ?

Currently LaTeX2HTML doesn't recognise this command, and others similar,
though they would be trivially easy to implement.
It would be nice to have them for V98.2.
