There's some very early work on this available at [1] (only the HTML4 
algorithms are currently implemented). Due to a bug in a html5lib 
serializer badness occurs when you give it a page containing more than 
one table. I also haven't checked that it's giving the correct results 
in almost any cases. However if you want to report bugs feel free.
