Vincent,

I think that just using [html] blocks like this would make it impossible
to predictably add surrounding html for combinations of group, layer and
class blocks for the same legend.

Perhaps we could try to find a way to extend the work done in bug 1032
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1032) where Steve
added new [leg_header_html] and [leg_footer_html] blocks. Maybe new
[leg_layer_header_html], [leg_group_header_html] and
[leg_class_header_html] and corresponding footer elements?
