ConTeXt can parse XML documents natively. Look for the XML manual.
The same mechanism can be used for HTML files, AFAIK.

given that you first clean up the html with for instance tidy (make it into 
xhtml or use the asxml switch)

Over there in the humanities LaTeX is simply not fit :) ConTeXt is
the best thing you can have there, LaTeX is barely useable unless
you overload any class with thousands of pages (ok, at least it
was like this until the memoir class popped up).

AFAIK it's in Perl so it should be cross-platform (or easily made
so).
