So you don't want HTML->XML but "arbitrary, somewhat regular string" 
to XML. Buggy HTML is just that, a somewhat regular string. You want 
to extract information and map it to a Schema, e.g. an XML-DTD. Right 
?

Please have a look at

The online demos already use Jedi 2.0, which is currently being 
prepared for (*.class only) distribution. Expect 2.0 for download in 
about 7 days. The current downloadable version is 0.1, which is about 
2 years old.
