I'm confused - why don't you just use a regular String (or StringBuffer - does GWT have StringBuilder? I can't regular)? If you want something that validates or parses the HTML for you, then you're SOL unless you find a javascript parser of HTML or write your own. My recommendation for that would instead to just pass that to the server to process.
If you do want to try to do parsing with the client's browser, you could try is create the HTML widget, get its underlying element & see if the tree structure is actually created (try also adding the HTML widget onto your page first (as a non-visible widget)). Another thing you could try is to also load it into an invisible IFRAME, & then get the DOM for that IFRAME. I'm not sure if you could do it all in GWT though - I think you'll have to drop into javascript to accomplish the latter.
