And the current HTML parser does not do that? We agree that it is faulty, but I still can't tell with certainty, from what you are saying, that it is failing in that particular job, which is what we ask of it. > Wouldn't HTML Tidy be perfect for this job? Technically possible since tidy has a java port [1], but I wonder what makes you think it would be a solution to the problem at hand, and a perfect one at that? The primary job of tidy is to clean up bad HTML; it does seem to have a DOM1 parser too, but there are a lot of other parsers out there, so is there a particular reason why you would you choose this one in particular?
