Thanks for the patch, I've applied it.

I patched the tex2page source file so that it now will produce a TOC listing 
that looks like:

<div class="toc-entry" style="margin-left: 0px;"><a ...>Title</a></div>
<div class="toc-subentry" style="margin-left: 5px;"><a ...>Sub Title</a></div>
<div class="toc-subentry" style="margin-left: 10px;"><a ...>Sub Sub 
Title</a></div>

Instead of:

<b><a ...>Title</a></b><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; <a ...>Sub Title</a><br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a ...>Sub Sub Title</a><br>

Which is much much cleaner imho.  Also it wraps well so a title that is 
indented will wrap like this:

   Wrapped
   title

vs

   Wrapped
title

Which is The Right Thing.

It's tex2page that is spitting out all those <p>s and it will require a patch 
to get it to suppress that i think.  I haven't really looked into it, but that 
would definitely be nice to fix.

t2p also prints attributes without quotes a lot of the time, which won't work 
for XHTML strict, which is what I would ideally like to get t2p to emit.
