[issue1486713] HTMLParser : A auto-tolerant parsing mode

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

I disagree (and might disagree with those other closings but I haven't noticed them I guess).  BeautifulSoup does *not* cover this ground, it is broken in 3.x because of the lack of a tolerant HTML parser in the stdlib (it used to use sgmlib, which is now gone).  BeautifulSoup would probably very much like to have this tolerant mode.

It probably shouldn't be the default, though, for backward compatibility reasons :(
