OK. I've stripped-out the application-specific data from the script;
here it is in its redacted form:
,{
,y/<form/ g/<head/ s/(.|\n)*>(Expected Page
Title)<(.|\n)*updated.*>([0-9]+\/[0-9]+\/[0-9]+)<(.|\n)*/:Title: \2\n:Date:

That last line is a bit of a hack. I needed it because there didn't
appear to be any way to delete the "<h2" delimiters from within the
,y/<h2/. But it works because those HTML tags do not appear in the
final reStructuredText.
A lot of the complexity of the script comes from the need to keep the
changes in sequence. I really hope that the implementation of the sam
language in Acme doesn't impose the same requirement to keep changes in
order; it's a Real Pain(TM).
One of the things that still perplexes me is the apparent necessity of
the s command. The sam paper claims that the s command isn't necessary.
But I couldn't find any way to do the edits without resorting to it. If
you could figure out how to replace the s commands with a combination of
other sam commands, I'd be quite impressed indeed!
