You can do it in XSLT, but it's probably not the easiest way, at least not as a first step.
Because the snippet of HTML is not XML well-formed, you'd have to treat it as text and essentially write an HTML parser; some other possible approaches might be:
- Use something like HTML Tidy as a first step to convert to valid XHTML (I am sure many other such tools exist)
- Use the ReX parser generator to create an HTML parser in XSLT and process as text
- Use Stephen Pemberton's invisible XML parser

Hi Folks,
At the bottom of this message I show HTML that was produced by an Outlook email message (a “Hello, world” email message). The HTML has some interesting features. For example, it has a comment containing namespace-qualified elements and attributes:
<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
<o:shapelayout v:ext="edit">
<o:idmap v:ext="edit" data="" />
</o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]-->
The v namespace prefix is used only in that comment and nowhere else. I have tried a couple tools that convert HTML to XHTML and apparently they don’t look inside the comment because they remove the namespace declaration:
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"
xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
I want to import the XHTML back into Outlook, but unfortunately after removing namespace declarations the XHTML is not valid as far as Outlook is concerned.
Is there a tool that can convert the HTML generated by Outlook to XHTML, such that the XHTML can be reimported into Outlook?
If no such tool exists, I will create my own tool. Would XSLT be suitable for such a task? /Roger
