What is the `purecopy' in your code good for? You didn't change this
in the source code, did you? ;-)

I would do it with a simple bit of Elisp. You could put something
like the following into your ~/.emacs:
(defun my-html-forward-sentence ()
(interactive)
(save-match-data
(if (re-search-forward "\\([.?!]\\)<" nil t)
(goto-char (match-end 1))
(goto-char (point-max)))))
(define-key sgml-mode-map (kbd "M-e") 'my-html-forward-sentence)
