There are a couple of things out there that can do the conversion. I forget the names offhand, but they are in the archives of the LDP discuss and/or staff mailing list.

html2db using TidyLib. I've used it multiple times, it works really well. It doesn't do tables, though. :)
What you get are mainly good containers, e.g. <para>, <section>, etc., and all the special cases are <literal> or <emphasis>, which are layout oriented instead of content oriented. But it's easy to fix ('C-c =' in pSGML mode will change the tag).
