Not really an answer to your question,  but I'll recently=
 contributed
a Perl module to CPAN (the central Perl repository) called 
FrameMaker::FromHTML, which [sometimes] turns HTML into MIF
format.   Needs Really Nice HTML before it will work -- which is
why I recommend using HTML-tidy before or while trying it.

Have seen XML go in, using the structured Frame stuff, but=
 haven't
done it myself and can't remember the magic incantations. It's 
possible, but I had the distinct impression that it's still early=
 days
yet and the DTD requirements are heavy.
