Well, as someone else suggestion, if you have PHP (or Perl), you should be able to easilly
strip out all presentation-orientated markup, leave some semantic markup and perhaps
convert some presentation markup into semantic markup (but you'd have to look through a
sample (ergo. distributed sample) of the documents before hand to see if any presentation markup is in
fact used to convey semantic meaning and can be thus converted), and reading the document
tree, looping through documents, parsing and then outputting to a new location for
double-checking afterwards is also a piece of the proverbial.

Just an idea, ignore if you're not comfortable with the tools, or dislike the method.
