Whoops, forgot one of the defines (the divergence) from my command
style file:

\def\div{\mbox{$\vec{\nabla} \cdot$}}

Double whoops -- I forgot that I had changed to html_version 4.0. When
I change back to 3.2, and run with 99.2alpha8, I get the old (correct)
behavior.

So, what is the current thinking about the best html version to use?
I had assumed that 4.0 was the latest and greatest, but maybe it's not 
ready yet?

I played around with sticking \htmlimage{} commands inside my
eqnarray and displaymath environments, and got really bad results
with html version 4.0 *and* with 3.2. Maybe this doesn't mix well with 
colored text.

Eventually, it seemed that the best answer for me for now is to stick
with 3.2.
