HTMLParser rejects real-life tagsoup

[Thanos Vassilakis]

In the real world most html templates or pages created by designers are
non-standard and will break parsers. That is why we  NYSE used our own html
parsers for templating: The first based on scriptfoundry's  tagparser which
was very fast and easier to use than HTMLParser, and now we use pso.parser.
This is fast, elegant and robust.
