I think if the <div>s and <span>s are in the right places and have
class attribute values that give the necessary structural and semantic
information, you could use XSLT to generate a document in which much
(if not all) of the OSIS markup had been done.  Of course, in doing
this you would have invested a great deal of work in marking up the
HTML document with the class attributes, when it might have been
better just to start over marking up the bare text with OSIS and then
transforming to HTML.
