If your input uses html syntax (eg unclosed <br> ) then you will not be
able to use an xml parser on it and do most xslt systems won't be able
to use it. You will need to pre-process to make it in to xml.
alternatively I think that there are some html (tag soup) parsers
available these days that will emit a sax stream from html input,
most of the java  xslt engines would probably accept input from such a
parser.
