This sounds an area where some help might be useful. Perhaps the
quickest solution would simply be to copy the old crappy "sgml" based
html parser into a new version of BeautifulSoup. Though I imagine what
it really needs is a "quirks mode" parser that is compatible with the
HTML dialect accepted by, say, IE6. Maybe a summer of code project?
