Depending on the "basicness" of the HTML doc you're importing, you might be able to get quite a long way with mml, a good text editor and a dose of lateral thinking.

You'd certainly need to junk all the closing tags, because mml a) doesn't use them and b) has its own strong opinions about backslashes.

As for lists, my editor lets me define a simple keystroke macro to select (for instance) everything between <ul> and </ul> and change all those occurrences of <li> to the <ul> tag I want to pick up in my FM styles.

Not a one-click solution, but good luck if you explore this route!
