Well, it's not as easy as some Perl regexes, but it can be done with
JPluck and XSLT. I'm trying to use this combo to correct IBM
Developerwork's stupid HTML that marks titles with <span class="title">
instead of <h1>, but the problem is that this HTML is not "well-formed",
and doesn't even has a DOCTYPE declaration, So XML tools won't process
it. :-/
