with the change mentioned above:

./import_toc.py
[('href', 'mailto:mdorman@debian.org')]  # obviously start_a happens
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "./import_toc.py", line 34, in ?
    foo.feed(data)
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/sgmllib.py", line 83, in feed
    self.goahead(0)
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/sgmllib.py", line 118, in goahead
    k = self.parse_endtag(i)
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/sgmllib.py", line 271, in parse_endtag
    self.finish_endtag(tag)
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/sgmllib.py", line 325, in finish_endtag
    self.handle_endtag(tag, method)
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/sgmllib.py", line 336, in handle_endtag
    method()  # seems to die on end_a?
TypeError: not enough arguments; expected 2, got 1

gah, HTMLParser should not be this hard.  Also, when I get this working 
eventually I want the text wrapped in the anchor too, how do i get that?
