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.
