If ispell-skip-html is set to t and having any effect at all, you
shouldn't need to specify --mode=sgml. Or to put it another way, if you
have to pass that --mode=sgml arg to aspell get things to work, then you
might as well just remove the (set-default 'ispell-skip-html t), because
it's not doing anything for you.

The logic for skipping over markup is in ispell.el and doesn't rely on
whatever "ignore markup" mechanism the ispell-program-name program
you're using might have.

If you want to see for yourself, open up your ispell.el file and take a
look at the definitions for the ispell-begin-skip-region-regexp and
ispell-skip-region functions.

If you have to explicitly specify element names that way, it means
ispell-skip-html either isn't actually set to t in the buffer you're in,
or is set but not having any affect for some reason.

You might want to try removing your LocalWords and adding this instead:

  <!--
  Local Variables:
  ispell-skip-html: t
  End:
  -->
