Correct; that's what your initial checkin message for HTMLParser.py suggests doing, and if I'm touching htmllib.py to add the HTML 4.01 stuff, I may as well make the other change, too. > I'm okay with deprecating sgmllib faster than htmllib. sgmllib gets deprecated; htmllib never gets deprecated. HTMLParser is a barebones HTML parser that provides no default handlers (handlehead, handletitle, etc.), and htmllib extends it, adding default handlers for the various things in HTML 4.01.
OK, got it. Sounds good to me!
