I started a discussion about creating an html package over on the
stdlib-sig when I realized that htmllib and HTMLParser seem really
similar. Are both modules needed at this point? Otherwise something
like html.parser and html.xparser will be needed to tell them apart in
the package since they both use the same name for the classes they
contain.
