As far as I know, Neil Mitchel's tagsoup[1] parses according to the HTML 5 parsing rules, but it just generates a list of Tags[2], so you'd have to build the DOM tree up from there. I personally have had great experience with tagsoup. It's even the core of HTML-scraping technology powering searchonce[3].
