If your processor has any kind of extension mechanism to any language 
that has an XML parser, I'd use that. If it doesn't you could use

http://code.google.com/p/web-xslt/source/browse/trunk/htmlparse

which despite its name does attempt to be an namespace aware xml parser 
written in pure xslt2 with no extensions, although because it also tries 
to parse html it is far more lenient than the XML spec would allow.
