Because HTMLTidy (http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/) is so good at making sense of funky HTML, I use it to produce XHTML, which can then be processed with XML tools.

I made a little Python module that calls the command line version of HTMLtidy with the appropriate arguments. Will be happy to share if anyone wants to see it.
