Ouch! Now that was a painful thread I'd rather not revive:

In short, no. Too many core developers have served their time in the
HTML-parsing gulag to be willing to write such a thing ourselves. In fact
our temptation is to warn off anyone crazy / brave enough to try.
That having been said, I can't see myself refusing patches for a *really*
good importer. Last time I checked, though:
- Mozilla was still not GPL-compatible, and
- the MSIE code is not available at all.
(Just though I should calibrate "good" for you.)
