BeautifulSoup does parse HTML well, but there are a few issues:
1. It's rather slow; it can take seconds of CPU time to parse
some larger web pages.
2. There's no error reporting. It tries to do the right thing,
but when it doesn't, you have no idea what went wrong.
BeautifulSoup would be a good test case for the PyPy crowd to
work on. It really needs the speedup.
