Summary: sgmllib.SGMLParser
Initial Comment:
sgmllib.SGMLParser calls start tag and end_methods
correctly until it encounters
<a title="link1" href="url1">One</a>
<br/><a title="link2" href="someurl2">Two</a>
<a title="link2" href="url3">Three</a>
the <br/> seems to cause its parsing to become
confused and I conly get call backs for tag a twice (link
1 and 3)

footnote: <br/> is an XML construct, and is not valid HTML.
In HTML, "<tag/blah/" is short for "<tag>blah</tag>", so the
BR section is parsed as
START br
DATA ><a title="link2" href="someurl2">Two<
END br
DATA a>
which is 100% correct. For more on this topic, see:
