For a certain value of standardised, libxml2dom provides "the DOM" for
HTML:
import urllib, libxml2dom
f = urllib.urlopen("http://www.python.org";)
s = f.read(); f.close()
d = libxml2dom.parseString(s, html=1)
print "There are", len(d.xpath("//table")), "tables in the document."
See http://www.python.org/pypi/libxml2dom for more information.
