For your purposes I think you should be able to just do
class MyBeautifulSoup(BeautifulSoup.BeautifulStoneSoup):
NESTABLE_BLOCK_TAGS = ['sceneobject', 'parameters', 'parameter', 'shader']
since presumably you don't need special handling for 'ol', 'ul', etc that
BeautifulSoup has.
In any event there is no need to modify BS, better to make your own BSS
subclass.
