One minor problem here is creating multiple files (settings.xml, 
styles.xml, and content.xml as the main ones), although there are XSLT 
extensions to handle that.

The big problem that I see is merging internal CSS stylesheet 
information and style="" and class="" attributes on tags, if you want to 
get a really accurate representation of the original.  That takes some 
major parsing which is not within the normal capabilities of XSLT.

If you don't object to having a program written in Java or Ruby or 
Python/Jython that can do that heavy computation, I'd say that would be 
the way to go.

For a heavyweight solution, of course, you could use OpenOffice.org in
command line mode and have it open the HTML file and save it as ODF.
