ENH: read-html fixes by cpcloud · Pull Request #3616 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

@cpcloud I would rather see correct and slow then wrong but fast!

Can always add it back in 0.12 (or after) if you discover how to fix it. And you have the flavor option, so sort of 'easy' to add it. (course have to edit stuff to take it out...docs,install docs,docstrings...)

of course if there are cases where lxml can do better (and is correct), but bombs on other cases, then you could always raise on those (but that may be more trouble than its worth)
