Mal-formed HTML (i.e. non-conforming SGML) is outside the scope of this list 
:-).  However, converting legal HTML (i.e. conforming SGML) to XML is a valid
activity and it could be useful to get feedback.  It normally requires a 
DTD (for example <!Element body o o (%body.content;)> means that <BODY> tags
are frequently omitted.  There is also the question of what to do with EMPTY
tags such as <HR>.  Does it matter if they are rendered as
<HR/>
or, say
<HR>
</HR>
?
I convinced myself that it did, in that the first has no child, while the
second could have a PCDATA child of value "\n" - at least in WF documents?
What is its value in <HR></HR>?

Could someone more authoritative give an overview of the XML-isation of HTML?
I need HT(X)ML to provide the text sections for CML...
