Have you tried something like this?

d = """<HTML><HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
         if (1<2) document.write('<B>Hello</B>');
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
"""

from xml.dom.ext.reader import HtmlLib

import cStringIO
s = cStringIO.StringIO(d)

doc = HtmlLib.FromHtmlStream(s)

from xml.dom import ext
ext.PrettyPrint(doc)

Note, It doesn't print out XHTML and we probably won't add this in the
ext.Printer* because DOM III has all sorts of specifications for
serialization and deserialaztion and we'll be migrating to that in the
near future.

I quick stylesheet can turn the output of this into valid XML (no easy
way to print an HTML document out as XML in 4DOM, I have ideas if you
are interested).
