I haven't seen this for HTTP, but I've heard of several efforts with SMTP, 
which might be similar.  I think the IETF was taking a look at an XML 
representation:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-klyne-message-rfc822-xml-01.txt

I think Steven Champeon at hesketh.com had also done some work that direction.

I don't know that this work would be directly useful to you, but it does 
represent a similar problem of MIME-encoded information and textual headers.
