And it would be more than just a nice user feature, there would be
huge implications for the guts of the program as well. With every character
of HTML that Arachne processes, she must, how to say it, be 'ready for
anything' -- it might be JS, it might be a comment, tags might be lowercase
or upercase, spaced or not etc. And all the 'tools' for anything must be
available at all times which is a huge drain on resources. If the HTML
was first cleaned, the final HTML parsing would be much faster. One day
I'm going to do it.
