Yes, but as you'll notice, Textile tends to mess up things. What's that 
<br/> between <head> and <body>, for example? And that <p> tag where the 
whole html is now included?

It seems difficult to have Textile playing nice when ALL of your entries 
are completely HTML based. I'm trying to port some of the entries from 
my weblog to Hobix, but I keep getting invalid and strange HTML because 
of Textile messing up, inserting paragraph tags in strange ways, and the 
like.
