NUTCH-487 is mostly a duplicate of NUTCH-369. I merged patches from
both issues in NUTCH-25 since NUTCH-25 needs those patches to work
correctly (and I gave you and Renaud Richardet credit in comments).

As for NUTCH-490, I haven't taken an in-depth look at it, but I don't
see the point of it. Why not just use HtmlParseFilters since you have
access to the DOM object? What advantage do neko filters have? Also,
having an extension point for a library possibly used by a possibly
used plugin looks really really wrong from a design point.
