Assuming it were merged today, that parser would only be available on
Python 3.3 and later:  how is that "everywhere"?  Having scripts that
work against html5lib (which *doesn't* need buildout to install, or even
setuptools) makes them portable to any version of Python supported by
the library (Python 2.3+, AFAICT).
