Emacs does not come with an HTML mode that provides indentation (unless
you're using a development version such as the soon-to-be-released
Emacs-22). There are several packages out there that provide an HTML mode
with indentation. So please tell us which HTML mode you're using.

I believe the Emacs-22 HTML mode does handle those special tags correctly,
so I presume this is another mode you're talking about.
