Scott, Regarding unparseable terms - I think even edismaxc query parser is more forgiving that the standard one, but if that is not the case, one can always build a custom query parser that is more forgiving regarding invalid query string syntax.
Re HTML response - I'm guessing you are seeing something that looks like HTML to you in a browser. It should be XML. If it is not, please show us what you are seeing.
