What about markupbase and sgml?
markupbase has no public API and has already been renamed _markupbase. As for sgmllib, since it only exists for htmllib, I say it should be merged into html.tools since there is no naming conflicts. But I just realized htmllib itself is a parser for html. So naming it html.tools seems wrong. Perhaps it should be: htmlentitydefs -> html.entities htmllib -> html.parser sgmllib -> html.parser HTMLParser -> html.xparser That way the two different parsers are both delineated as parsers, but the fact that HTMLParser handles XHTML is covered. I will also ask the web-sig if both parsers are really needed. -Brett
