Research direction

Start with usingHtmlParser.py at line 17 and reproduce the HTMLParser failure against the same fetched page. Inspect the input around line 620, column 54, where the parser reports a malformed start tag; done means the parsing failure is resolved or the problematic input is clearly identified.
