You are correct.  Microsoft Word does not output valid HTML, nor does
any Microsoft product of which I am aware.

There used to be a program called the "demoronizer" which would clean up
MSHTML to create something approximating valid HTML, but I don't know if
it has kept up with recent versions of MS Office.  The best way to get
valid HTML from MS Word files is to save as plain text (ASCII or
Unicode) and add the markup by hand.
