Parsing HTML?

[benash at gmail.com]

BeautifulSoup does what I need it to.  Though, I was hoping to find
something that would let me work with the DOM the way JavaScript can
work with web browsers' implementations of the DOM.  Specifically, I'd
like to be able to access the innerHTML element of a DOM element.
Python's built-in HTMLParser is SAX-based, so I don't want to use
that, and the minidom doesn't appear to implement this part of the
DOM.
