Work is being done on such tools now. A few of us have begun writing a parser in Python, which will be either public domain (preferably) or under a free software licence. I also have plans to write one in PHP, which will be public domain. Henri Sivonen has written one in Java for the HTML5 conformance checker, which is available under a free software licence. If anyone wishes to contribute or write one in another language, please do so. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
