I did start writing something similar a few years ago, for HTML at
least.  I've attached a gzipped tarball of my code in case it is of
interest.  I had an alternative version of the attached code that made
use of inst subtyping to enforce structure, but can't remember where I
put it.  From memory, it worked (aside from a couple of compiler bugs),
but was a bit awkward to work with.
