mhtml-mode was a stab at making this work.  It does require some more
changes in Emacs (there's another bug open about font-lock that requires
some changes to the font-lock code, but there are also a few more I
could list), but I didn't come across anything requiring C changes.

What changes are you thinking of?

It does.  Whatever happened to the idea of pulling mmm into Emacs core?
Maybe we could get rid of mhtml-mode.
