Doing this we lose complete control whether there are missing glyphs
in the PS run.  This might be acceptable for on-the-fly viewing (as
with a Web browser), but IMHO such behaviour is not tolerable if an
HTML document is produced.

Yes.  Instead of running preprocessors, I would like to see warning
messages:

  PS run disabled.  Equation in line XXX is not converted to image.

A neat side effect would be faster creation of simple HTML documents.
