Some time ago i went a little forward with this project. I tought i could as well share my results.
Basically the program now correctly parses ldraw files and call LDView to render everything. It then build an "instruction tree" that is used to create a skeleton HTML.
Here's a couple of examples:

My idea was to use css to drive the layout, here are two examples of the same html with two different css to modify the part list appearance:
http://www.lugato.net/brigl/instructions/car/test.html
http://www.lugato.net/brigl/instructions/car/test2.html
Ideally in my mind there should be a GUI which hides the innard css with some "presets" functions (like general aligns, positions etc) while still letting you change the css manually for fine tuning. I made some study with Javafx and it shows promising results, expecially for the powerful and very easy to manipulate webview component.
