I'm not sure if you are saying you are already using this, and would like to avoid it, but then I don't really see what would be much simpler than this.

Code:
sed -e 's/\(<!-- IDENTIFIER1 -->\)[0-9]*,[0-9]*,[0-9]*/\10,0,0/' \
  -e 's/\(<!-- IDENTIFIER2 -->\)UP/\1DOWN/' old.html >new.html

If the replacement values should not be hardcoded, you need to adjust the quoting; single quotes prevent variable expansion, but you can mix single and double quotes freely to protect the parts which need protection and still get variable interpolation where you want it.
