Another possibility is HTMLFilter. It parses HTML 4 or
backward-compatible XHTML in a way that's more SAX-like than DOM-like,
though you could still use it to build a DOM.  It's well suited for
modifying documents in place, because tags you don't need to modify
can pass straight through without risk of indigestion.
