OTOH, many packages come with TeXinfo sources that produce quite decent
documentation in HTML, and the help system should use these when available. 
The same goes for kio_info.

So the strategy would be, if there is known HTML documentation corresponding to
the manual page, use that instead.  Otherwise, it is possible to use a modified
groff macro package to generate structural information as processing
instructions, and pass them through SAX to generate HTML on the fly.  

(Note that running groff in HTML mode will not work either because of known
bugs; these bugs cannot be fixed because the standard HTML generator works on
unmodified ditroff microcode, and it is not possible to recover structural
information from that.)
