[Distutils] Table of contents formatting in PyPI pages generated from long descriptions

[Maurits van Rees]

I noticed the same today.  I went on a bug hunt and found that this was 
fixed in html5lib.  From the changelog:

   0.999999/1.0b7
   Released on July 7, 2015

   Fix #189: fix the sanitizer to allow relative URLs again (as it did 
prior to 0.9999/1.0b5).

So PyPI would need to start using a newer html5lib.

I have just now opened a bug report for good measure:
