I would not do that at all. There are subtle differences between HTML and XML, e.g., HTML allows tags that are not explicitly closed with </tag>. Try a sub-element with the <img> or <input> tag. In general, valid HTML is not necessarily valid XML, and vice versa. The bugs that such an assumption might exercise can be subtle and hard to catch.
