looking over my solution to this small question, i was left curious
about something:  is there any particular reason why the "declaration"
method in HTML::Parser doesn't have an $origtext argument, other than
the fact that it's easier than most to reconstruct?

i've often found myself in a situation where i want to mostly do a
"pass-through" parser, modifying only certain tags, certain links,
turning pass-through on and off, etc.  the $origtext parameters make
this quete painless (and i suspect the new XS modules make it even
easier) but this anomaly happened to catch my attention tonight.

thanks anyway,
t.
