Ensure the HTML is XHTML compliant (ie, is a valid XML document) and write
some XSLT to match the tags/attributes and output the appropriate Docbook
tags - the difficulty will be in identifying the structural components
within your document from the HTML markup. Then use something like testxslt
(in the Xalan C++ distribution) as a command line utility to do the
transformation.
