> Throwing an exception and giving up is just not good enough. Yes it is, in some cases. There are "forgiving" HTML parsers out there, HTMLParser does not strive to be one. There are so many cases where HTML is a bit malformed that it takes more than just two exceptions to get it right. It's for a reason that browsers' parsers are so complex. If you add these corner cases, people will come asking for this exception, and that one, etc.

Yes it is, in some cases. There are "forgiving" HTML parsers out there,
HTMLParser does not strive to be one.
There are *so many* cases where HTML is a bit malformed that it takes
more than just two exceptions to get it right. It's for a reason that
browsers' parsers are so complex. If you add these corner cases, people
will come asking for this exception, and that one, etc.
