No.  Just ship both (or all three): SGML, SGML normalized and HTML.  The
GNU project does this all the time with

    Texinfo      - Info
    Elisp (*.el) - Elisp compiled (*.elc)
    Bison (*.y)  - C (*.c)
    Makefile.am  - Makefile.in
    configure.in - configure

and more.  All files that are not easy to build are to be shipped.
That's an official rule (and this rules works good).
