I think that the sgmlspl interface to the sgmlspm library by David
Megginson, GPL licensed, found at CPAN would serve this purpose well.
It's manuals are in docbook and the bundle includes sketches, adequate
to handle those manuals, for translating the Docbook version of its
time into both html and latex.  Don't let its 1995 date deter you.
It's quite robust.

A minor revision of sgmlspm that adds the method $element->defempty
is available in the gellmu bundle [which I wrote] at CTAN where there
are many lines of example code.

In fact, if you decide to go this way, I'd like to hear from you.
