It talks about 'walkin the parse tree'... which is a bit more magic
than I want... I just want to modify URLs in tags... which means I
mainly want to extract the HTML unchanged and also modify a few tags -
HTMLParser is quite good at this- but dies *horribly* at bad HTML... I
may have to try beautiful soup though :-)
