Brett, I needed to do the same thing, but I cheated and used tidy with the following configuration file:
show-body-only: yes output-xhtml: yes You can also merge <divs> and clean up other artifacts pretty easily. I'm sure there's a way to do this in the transform, but if you need a quick fix, tidy works pretty well. If you're not familiar with tidy, check out tidy.sourceforge.net.
