Well, I've got the hair :o)

If you wrote a really manky parser, I expect you could handle really manky code -- DOM was originally developed for (grotty) HTML, although I can see that XHTML would be easier to work with, as someone quoted the other day, "XML is for people who couldn't parse their way out of a paper bag"...

XML::DOM looks to be halfway there, it would just need the methods added...

Of course, if there was a W3 DOM Perl parser, the code required to then get it to render HTML would be virtually trivial.
