As far as I can tell, Writer's rendering of an HTML page has fundamental
problems.  I can provide examples upon request.

  - HTML rendering, especially (but not solely) of tables, is wrong in numerous
ways.  It does not conform to any standard, or to any other browser's practice.
  - It makes OOo difficult to use as an HTML-to-PDF rendering tool in the UNO
environment, requiring an entirely different version of the original HTML page
to generate a document that looks like the desired original.  For example, some
table parameters must be provided in the TABLE definition, while others can be
left in the CSS.
  - CSS is handled incorrectly, ignored and actually removed in unpredictable
ways.  
  - The HTML source is mangled eliminating style information.  Some of the style
information is generally pushed into the element's definition; other style
information simply disappears.
  - OOo inserts additional elements such as P elements inside of table cells.

I assume that the document model used by OpenOffice.org differs from that of
HTML, making rendering an interesting problem.  However it appears to me that
the HTML rendering function is obsolete, being based on something akin to HTML 2
prior to the use of CSS.  I think the best solution would be to adopt Gecko as
the rendering base, rather than trying to fix the existing rendering engine. 
This would have the salutary effect of synergy with the advancement of Gecko, so
OOo would be able to stay 'up-to-date' more easily with modern HTML as it grows
and changes.

We have clients who want certain .pdf files delivered to them as .doc files, so
they can edit them with the tools they are used to.  We plan to support several
other formats as well.  This is planned as a major new feature of our financial
data reporting service, with significant revenue implications.

I need to complete a working PHP-based application to do this within a week.  I
had thought that OOo already supported this, so I'm already committed to finding
a solution.  I had planned to use OOo in headless mode, calling it from a PHP
script.  I've tried pdftohtml, but my build seems to be broken, at least so far
- it publishes essentially empty HTML pages.  pdftk slices and dices PDF but
doesn't output anything else.  pdf2ps and similar programs seem only to produce
images of the pdf file, not at all what I need.
