My issue with libhubbub is exactly the fact that it's tied into netsurf's
development, so much so that the Debian package for it was removed because it's
now packaged as part of netsurf. I appreciate the fact that being part of
another browser means it's battle-tested,
but after spidermonkey I'd rather have a library which is explicitly supposed
to be a library rather than something which can be used as a library but is
developed as part of another browser.

Cheers,
Adam.
ps: If none of the html options out there turns out to be of any help,
at least html5 has standardised the parsing algorithm so we can make our parser
algorithmically correct, and we have a more maintainable design out of all this.
