It might be possible to implement some kind of pseudo-SGML, that is
something which would look like a SGML document, without actually
being one.
One part of a SGML document is the Document Type Declaration (the DTD)
which specifies the syntax of the document text: in which order tags
come, if certain tags must follow other tags and so on. Implementing
this in TeX is probably not worth while.
It would probably be easier to adapt the NIST SGML parser to spit out
TeX code instead of parsed SGML.
