I don't understand how CSS support will make a difference in this regard.
The source HTML from The Onion has multiple <br>'s to force whitespace (it
doesn't even have an associated CSS stylesheet). By doing so it mixes
content and presentation, which is an issue that CSS attempts to address.
However, CSS won't help with HTML that already mixes content and
presentation.

The parser is part of the Java toolkit I'm working on.  I'll release a beta
version soon, probably in two weeks time.
