Yes, I found the JTidy package (as an option to another one in XWiki's
libs), but the HTML parser's constructor seemed to depend on some other
stuff that I don't think I can synthesize; I think there's yet another
one in the XWiki distribution, but I haven't looked at it yet (low
priority for now).
Of course, I can always use Javascript, yuck (not that I dislike it per
se, but due to the hegemonious lusts of a certain corporation - the bane
of my professional existence, which I am ashamed to say is from my own
country - cross-browser compatibility rates just above un-anaesthetized
oral surgery on my personal list of preferences)...
I will investigate TagSoup, though; thanks.

What do you mean by "HTML DOM parser"? You can use any
DOM parser as
long as it's well formed XML, and it should
be.

Unfortunately, it isn't:
Nested exception: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The
declaration for
the entity "HTML.Version" must end with
'>'.
This exception is thrown regardless of which of the javadoc pages I
use...
Just my two cents:
you might have a look at TagSoup
(http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/tagsoup/) or JTidy
(http://jtidy.sourceforge.net/) which I think is distributed
already as part of XWiki, those should help you when dealing
with non xml-valid HTML.
