Wow! So if it's not HTML, how are you supposed to submit it? Are HTML files 
supposed to be submitted in RTF or how are you supposed to upload that when 
you're done? Take care.

   I've been validating a strange file of unknown origins and am curious as
to how it was produced.  I went to investigate the HTML question and
downloaded a book (Felicity Learns a Lesson by Valerie Tripp).  This was
listed as HTML, but when I unzipped the file, it had a .tif extension.
Kurzweil thought it was gobblygook.  Since .tif is a graphics format, I
opened it with several programs and mostly got a picture of the cover page.
While Word tried unsuccessfully to open it, I noticed a bunch of things that
appeared to be page breaks. One program, Photoshop Essentials, gave me an
error message saying the file was designed to be viewed on a video monitor.
How strange. I was finally able to open it in Infranview and convert all the
pages to .jpg. They appear to be unrecognized photocopies. So, I'm in the
process of OCRing and cleaning up the text. I'd sure like to know how it was
made so if I run into something like this again, it won't take me so long to
figure out how to process it.
