Do we really need the HTML target? "Need" is relative. It's not strictly required, but people seem to like it (and it seems to have mostly silenced the LaTeX-haters). It is also more convenient if you want to look something up quickly - just open the URL in your browser, no need to open up a PDF viewer and find the right page. And yes, TeX4ht is rather hackish, but the output is nice after a small amount amount of babysitting. The only thing I don't like is that it puts footnotes in their own HTML files.
