Not sure if this helps, but I recently hacked some code to convert a
simple subset of HTML to org.   It is quite hackish and not nearly
finished (and I might never finish).

However it is pure elisp.

Code is at:

http://github.com/woudshoo/html-2-org

Usage is:

 (h-2-o-insert-org-source-for-html HTML-STRING)

which inserts a org blob in the current buffer at point.
