[Baypiggies] replacement for urllib2 that can handle xhtml

[ST1999]

lxml is *much* faster than BeautifulSoup (as I recall, a speaker at 2009
PyCon suggested it was 20 to 30 times faster) and should be used unless
there is a compelling reason not to. Also, I'm not sure how much
BeautifulSoup is being maintained at this point.
