I seem  to remember Henry Thompson (or Richart Tobin) at Edinburgh
wrote a tool to convert from a post-schema-validation "infoset" into
rdf. The results are spectacularly impractical - for example, as i
recall, each c h a r a c t e r becomes a separate information item and
hence is the subject of a triple describing its location, considerably
complicating string search. A quick search found an XML infoset to RDF
script in Python.

There isn't a single tree.

Maybe you want an RDF representation of the HTML 5 DOM that would be
built?

For example, should namespaces be normalised as per HTML 5, and should
missing "tbody: elements be inserted?

What is your goal?
