Couldn't you use "Save as HTML" in PPT and then write a simple parser that
would remove the goo?  I really don't know which is better because I haven't
seen your ppt generated HTML files, but it's another direction you may want
to look at.

BTW, you may want to check out:

Or find some other parser:

Hope this helps,
