I'd suggest serving XML rather than HTML and using client side XSLT to transform it into HTML. Client-side XSLT works well in IE 6 and all versions of Firefox, so there is no question that it is a mature technology. Provide a fall back via server transformed HTML if need be, but that is trivial to do once you have the client-side XSLT stylesheets.

Serving XML is as easy as serving HTML and gives you a much more flexible outcome.
