There is no such convereter yet.  It should not be too hard to make one
for a specific "dialect" of HTML (ab)use.  It would be a huge project to
implement something that work well on most pages out there...

A possible approach is to write an XSLT stylesheet from (your dialect
of) HTML to a docutils XML tree. We would need an XML reader in docutils
but that should be very easy.
