Summary: pydoc generates some bad html

Initial Comment:
One bug, two nits. When documenting lambda's, pydoc
outputs <lambda> which is interepreted as HTML markup.
I partially fixed that; I didn't add support for
A/HREF, which I think is what's really intended.

The nits: HTMLtidy says tables should have a summary
attribute, and <P> directly before a <table> is an
empty element which should be removed.

Attached patch addresses these.

Thanks, Rich!  The patch was applied, in

Lib/pydoc.py; new revision: 1.56
Misc/ACKS; new revision: 1.136

If you have more changes you want to make to this, it would 
be a real help if you could make them against the current 
CVS version of pydoc; some of the lines I believe you 
wanted to change were over 100 lines away from where this 
patch thought they were, and that it made it harder and 
more error-prone than it should be.
