HTMLParser rejects real-life tagsoup

[Rene Pijlman]

I've been using the HTMLParser module to process external web
pages that I don't control. HTMLParser seems to be rather strict
about the HTML syntax and quickly raises an exception when
confronted with real-life tagsoup.

I can't say I blame it. I'm fully aware of the concepts of
language, syntax and parser :-)

Any suggestions on how to handle this? Is there a more liberal
HTML-parser available somewhere, that sort of tries to make the
best of it, like most browsers do?
