You've already asked this, and been given the answer, but in case you 
didn't see it...

XSLT.

Run your HTML through Tidy to produce XHTML.
Then write an XSLT script to transform it to LaTeX.
This gives you 100% control and ensures robustness.

However, handling all the stupid things HTML authors do may make it 
long-winded if you want to cope with them all.  On the other hand, if 
you are dealing with a reasonably consistent subset, it's probably the 
most reliable method.
