This would be coolness, but please consider those of us who have environments
we can't upgrade right away. I still have some boxes running 5.003. Needless
to say, they can't have much fun with LWP. Part of the "portable code" thing
includes back revs when possible.
My $0.02 for today.

Subject: thoughts on elements and the new perl
Hey, I just had a thought...with the new "weak" references in perl 5.6,
it should be possible to make the _parent reference in HTML::Element
nodes weak, right? So your element trees will be garbage collected once
they go out of scope. No delete() necessary.
