I think he's referring to the fact that there use to be a bug where it
reference a function that existed in jQuery, but not in Hpricot itself
(I think it was .html) but that seems to be fixed now - Making it very
close to a one-to-one conversion. I don't mind at all, though - _why
is an amazing coder and I love his work.
