That's almost what I am already doing (declaring $HTML_VERSION="4.0";
in a config file), but it doesn't help for theorems.

Well, the \begin[MyOwnClass]{...} construction works well for tabular,
itemize, ..., but not for theorems! When I try to use it with theorems,
l2h processes the theorem as an image and does not even include the
CLASS="MyOwnClass" tag in the html output, although it does include a
DIV.MyOwnClass entry in the CSS file.

Any idea?
