You could try doing what we (and others) have done:

First, get the HTML into XML by using either a specialized
XML parser that can handle HTML, or use tidy (search www.w3c.org)
to convert the HTML into XHTML (essentially the same thing
that the "specialized XML parser" has to do).

Second, you could use XSL to rewrite the markup from
HTML to WML using your own rules.  There's been some work
in this area, and we've done some of our own if you want to
contact me.  

While it's far from perfect, it does serve a need, i.e.,
if you have open access to the Internet from a WML browser,
then it would be nice to give a best effort to being able
to access the >99.99999% of Web sites out there that might
not have gotten around to making themselves accessible to
these browsers.
