Have you tried using tidy?

Subject: [xsl] How to Handle Bad XML (or Word HTML)

Hi,

Thanks again to everyone who answers on this list. You've all been 
really sweet.

Today's question hopes to try and tackle a transformation of the HTML 
produced by MS Word into a valid XHTML format.

In general, the problem is Word doesn't produce "valid" XML 
(specifically, for many elements, attributes are not quoted). The file 
I'm working with starts with the following:

<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";>

Additionally, a typical element might look like this:

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;mso-hyphenate:none'><![if 
!supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

Is it even possible to use such a document as a source document and if 
so, how do I handle errors returned by the XSLT processor when unquoted 
attributes are found?

Thanks again to all of you who take the time to read and actually 
answer these queries.

Sincerely,

Ted Stresen-Reuter
