g'day, I'm not to sure of myself in this topic so I'll just say what we are using for the Thai dictionary files. The conf file defines the encoding as thml. However, the only codes used were <br> and <b> (which work fine in BibleCS and BibleTime). Trying to remember, I think that I chose thml because I wanted to get scripture references available. I didn't get ref working at the time and haven't tried again since.
