Any good Scala/Java solutions for sanitizing HTML?

I'd like to use the Scala XPath features, and it's quite possible some
of the HTML I'll be dealing with won't be properly formatted. Can
someone recommend a good sanitizer?

Thanks,
Ken

I was looking into this recently, and I found an article that was helpful. The comments are worth reading too.

Most are DOM parsers, while scala wants SAX. I put up code for the two
that are usable without a DOM2SAX converter there:
