Thanks, Howard and Pawel, for your responses. I tried changing the use_tidy setting, and then tried changing the use_BeautifulSoup setting as well -- still no luck as per the session below.
Howard, I wonder what is different about your twill installation. I think I am using the latest version with Python 2.5 on Windows. I tried using id_url with the fv command, but I get an error about that not being found. I think the page in question is XHTML rather than HTML in case that makes a difference.
