It's an obvious idea, but I think it's a fair bit of work:
- you'll probably want your function to be able to read from a buffer
rather than from a file (reading from a file would slow down the
operation to a point where using a separate xml-to-elisp executable
isn't that much worse).
- parsing HTML is the easy part, rendering it in Emacs is a lot
more difficult.
