Technically, you're correct. However, I find that the shortcuts available in rst (create a document title & subtitle similarly to the way you'd use Markdown and auto-generation of multi-level TOC to name two) allow me to accomplish the same task more quickly than I could by adding HTML to the document.
I appreciate having Markdown support, and I may use it in the future for simple documents (where a single-level TOC is sufficient!), but in this case, I found that it felt insufficient to me.
One other item I discovered. If I have multiple H2s in an HTML document that all have identical text, html2lrf only adds the first one to the TOC. So when I first attempted to convert Anna Karenina, I ended up with Part 1, Chapter 1, ..., Chapter 34, Part 2, Chapter 35, Part 3, Part 4, ...
Part 2 has 35 chapters, but 1-34 are named identically to Part 1's 34 chapters, so they never showed up in the Reader's TOC menu. OTOH, they showed up fine in the in-line TOC in the book.
Thanks for all your hard work!
