Reasonable explanation though rather technical. It means the user has to be
aware of the background and needs to know that HTML has limited capabilities
compared to ODF. Assume the majority is aware of this difference but another
Html as well as dbase, diff, text etc. are listed under Save As, which is
confusing.

Turning things around, would it really be distracting to find PNG under Save
As? Why not merge the two menus?

(Side note: GIMP has Save/Save As that provides only internal formats (xcf).
Guess most users do enter this menu like me looking actually for Export as
PNG.)
