Here is an idea for an html package:

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.
