>
> The NekoHTML library we currently use for parsing HTML has a transitive
> dependency on Apache Xerces. The Xerces library is pretty big (1.2MB) and is
> known to cause various problems when included in the classpath of an
> application or a container that expects some other XML parser library.
> The TagSoup library (http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/tagsoup/) provides an
> alternative HTML parsing library that works pretty much like NekoHTML but
> doesn't depend on Xerces. I suggest we switch from NekoHTML to TagSoup unless
> this change causes major regressions in HTML parsing.
