See the MoinMoin bundle, I do exactly this. My implementation was:

Fetch Document [URL From Safari]
Save: Nothing
Input: None
Output: Discard
Command(s):
   require_cmd moinedit
   require_cmd mate
   mate "$(moinedit -e)"

moinedit is a relatively straight-forward shell script which uses  
curl to grab the document and save it to a temporary directory with  
an extension of .moinmoin. The path to that file is then emitted to  
stdout, mate opens it. The extension forces the language.

I noticed that TextMate has the nice property that if you open a new  
document (necessary to run a command if no document windows are open)  
and then select MoinMoin->Fetch Document that when the mate command  
runs, the frontmost (empty) document is replaced.

I also provide a template in the MoinMoin bundle but I find having to  
use File -> New From Template tedious.

BTW, I also stuck a stand-alone "cookie" parser in the bundle which  
can grab cookies from webkit, camino, or firefox (and tries in that  
order) which is useful for MoinMoin to grab the user's auth token.

moinedit and cookie are under MoinMoin.tmbundle/Support/bin/
