Terse, perhaps. I don't have time to write the essays that some do.

Plucker already handles some things of questionable acceptability.
I don't think it's so terrible if it fails to handle some incorrect
things and junks the occasional page that uses them. It's not like the
entire download fails. Even ripping out the current parser and putting
in something like HTMLPrag (no, I know that's not feasible for Plucker)
wouldn't handle the case of some site failing to encode a URL correctly.
The best fix is for the site to encode correctly.
