BeautifulSoup is intended for HTML parsing. It is, or was, particularly good 
at dealing with badly-formed HTML, as commonly found on lots of websites. I 
think more recently some libraries changed out from under it, so I’m not 
sure if this is still true.

XML is (officially) much more anal in its compliance, so you shouldn’t need 
to bend over backwards to parse it.
