Hello,

I think my regular use of the html export would be broken.

I add a <div id="wrapper"> in the preamble and a </div> in the  
postamble.
This allows me to make a "boxed" page (see http://homepages.ulb.ac.be/ 
~pdebuyl/ ) which I like.

If I cannot end my div in the postamble, I think it would break my  
setup.

Here is my setup:
	 :html-preamble "
    <div id=\"wrapper\">
    <div id=\"menu\">
    HERE, some static menu items.
    </div>
"
	 :html-postamble "
    </div>
"

I tried without that extra div and I cannot reproduce my former layout.
