The trouble with using -r html or -f html is that this strips out the 
<head> element, so I lose the formatting.

That is, if I apply pandoc -r html -t html+smart to this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<title></title>
<meta name="Generator" content="Cocoa HTML Writer">
<meta name="CocoaVersion" content="2113">
<style type="text/css">
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial; color: #151515; 
-webkit-text-stroke: #151515; background-color: #d5e4ff}
span.s1 {font-kerning: none}
span.s2 {font: 16.0px Courier; font-kerning: none; background-color: 
#f1f1f1}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Font names that have more than one word — 
like </span><span class="s2">Trebuchet MS</span><span class="s1"> — need to 
be surrounded by quotes, for example </span><span class="s2">"Trebuchet 
MS"</span><span class="s1">.</span></p>
</body>
</html>

The outcome is just:

<p><span class="s1">Font names that have more than one word — like 
</span><span class="s2">Trebuchet MS</span><span class="s1"> — need to be 
surrounded by quotes, for example </span><span class="s2">"Trebuchet 
MS"</span><span class="s1">.</span></p>
