  Yes.

  I'm working on doing exactly this, using John Plaice's Omega
  to be the TeX engine that produces XML/MathML files,
  to be referenced via HTML's <OBJECT> tags.

  The current text+images in HTML will be the content of the
  <OBJECT...> ....  </OBJECT>, for existing browsers
  that do not support MathML.

  well, XHTML would be a reasonable aim.

  You are welcome to try.
  There are thousands of lines of Perl coding that encode the logical
  structure of LaTeX environments and macros, to be re-expressed in
  a more standardised form.
  The bulk of the work lies in re-doing this interpretation.
  Java is no better a language for this than is Perl or Python.

  Besides, it would be better to join the Omega team, and use
  a much faster, fully compiled system to achieve this aim.
  Much of this work is done already.
 

Hope this helps,
