FYI, I made another potentially breaking change to `html-parsing`, and
so have incremented the major version number, to 6.0.
Sorawee Porncharoenwase found a case in which the parser was doing the
wrong thing for a real-world example of contemporary HTML. It turned
out to be in some 17 year-old "structure recovery" constraints that
thought HTML `p` elements couldn't be children of `blockquote`
elements. I decided to change that in `html-parsing` version 6.0, which
could easily break some Web scraper code that was based on the previous
parse involving `blockquote` and `p`.
More generally, with the `html-parsing` package, I'm trying to minimize
the changes (and effort spent) on that package, while still making an
effort to respond to problems that people encounter with real-world HTML.
I hope there won't be any further breaking changes. But, having good
unit tests for your Web scraper (or other code) will hopefully identify
any problems without much pain. Please let me know of any such pains.
