  I second Paolo's postscript.

  Adding to the please-merge-these-similar-packages discussion, I
suggest incoporating/building from/looking at the html-helper-mode
package by Nelson Minar. Html-helper-mode is based on html-mode and
I've found it to be a significant improvement--my main gripe is that
it doesn't support <P></P>...yet. I haven't seen hm--html-menus
package.

Here's the (pseudo?) LCD Archive Entry:

;; html-helper-mode|Nelson Minar|nelson@reed.edu|
;; Major mode for editing HTML.|
;; 16-Mar-94|Version 2.0|ftp://ftp.reed.edu/pub/src/html-helper-mode.tar.Z

  For more information--including the notable differences between
html-mode and html-helper-mode, see http://www.reed.edu/~nelson/.
