Hmm, from 10,000 feet that doesn't look terribly hard.  Certainly tbl
input provides all the requisite information needed for an HTML table.
mandoc claims to do it already.  Is there any possibility of using
their work?  

One difficulty is dealing with troff requests in the middle of a
table.  But they're not hard to recognize (in terms of parsing) and in
practice I would guess not very many different requests are used.
