I'm not sufficiently practiced in this area to be able to judge, but is it possible to clean up the HTML, if necessary (tidy comes to mind), and then transform it to DocBook XML? Googling turns up http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~ppadala/projects/tidy/ and http://www.xml.com/pub/p/423, among other tools. The latter sounds (but may not be) better but isn't free. Once you had DocBook XML, you could create HTML, help, PDFs, and a number of other output formats. I've written in DocBook and found it really nice (Emacs and nxml-mode can be your friends), although I'm not skilled in creating the XSL and CSS files you'd want to transform and format the material.
