AbiWord is not in any way designed to create web pages. The HTML export is
just a helper to allow publishing documents to the web easily. But it is NOT
a substitute to web content publishing tools. Emacs (or vim) is much more
suited for that. And any well designed content for the web would involve
some sort of post-processing, like server side include (PHP or anything
else) or pre-processing of the file before putting online (static content
but with defined layout. You change the layout, you regenerate all the page
from content and layout template).

We don't import HTML yet. (there is a plugin in the work, but given the
amount of crap that is self entitled HTML, it will definitely not be an easy
task).

No. It does not. See above for the reason.
