For the second part, there is also 'jtidy' ( not sure about the licence ).
For the first part - the only problem is preserving the line numbers for
error reporting ! This problem is common to other systems ( cocoon,
probably most translators ). One possible solution is to add a special
attribute to the generated XML tags ( in a separate namespace ). Or just
make sure you generate with exactly the same line structure.
I assume you'll use CDATA for the content ( or translate to >... ) to
make sure it is a valid xml ( if the source is not HTML/XHTML ).

I would vote for the first option. Eventually make it an ant-like bean,
so it can be automatized/integrated into ant later.

I'm +1 on such a tool, I think it would be quite useful. You'll need to
send this as a patch first.
