There has existed a de-facto standard for conversion of GEDCOM to HTML 
for a couple of years. Information about it can be found at: 
<http://206.139.152.113/GenMatch/genmatch.htm>.

I have used GED2HTML (http://www.gendex.com/ged2html/) and it works VERY 
well, even on large databases. 

The code is in Perl and gets you half-way there on an XML conversion.
