James Clark's SP package includes a program called sgmlnorm that will
do this very easily, e.g.

$ sgmlnorm gnarly.html > nice.html

It won't lowercase the attribute values, but as Jim says, that could
have unwanted side-effects.

Matter of fact ... do you have nsgmls? Then you may very well have
sgmlnorm, too. If not ... let's see, it should be in the Jade RPM, or
you can get it (or at least good info about getting it) from:
