It sounds like you could get usable results by transforming HTML entities to corresponding PML constructs and simply stripping out all the stuff that wasn't supported, like CSS.

The next step would be to try to parse the CSS and convert it to corresponding PML functions, if any, but that would be a lot harder, and the question is whether it would be worth the effort.
