BeautifulSoup gets you almost all the way there:

>>> import BeautifulSoup
>>> f = open('a.html')
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(f)
>>> f.close()
>>> g = open('a.xml', 'w')
>>> print >> g, soup.prettify()
>>> g.close()

This closes all tags properly. The only issue remaining is that the doctype remains HTML — to change that into the doctype of your choice, you only need to change the first line, which is not hard, e.g., instead of printing the prettified text directly,

>>> lines = soup.prettify().splitlines()
>>> lines[0] = ('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"'
                '"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">')
>>> print >> g, '\n'.join(lines)
