Take a look at :
http://www.idealliance.org/proceedings/xml04/papers/111/mhk-paper.html#S2
.
if you have access to XSLT 2.0 (e.g. via Michael Kays saxon 8.x.x) then 
you can 'upconvert' plaintext to xml using an xslt. I had a similar 
task, but i have to admit I ended up using a lot of "tokenize" followed 
by "for-each" structures rather than the "analyze-string" as advocated 
in the article. My regex wasn't up to scratch, probably.
